# Shortcut Keys for Spreadsheets

Some of the shortcut keys may be assigned to your desktop system. Keys that are assigned to the desktop system are not available to LibreOffice. Try to assign different keys either for LibreOffice, in Tools - Customize - Keyboard, or in your desktop system.

To fill a selected cell range with the formula that you entered on the Input line, press Option Alt+Enter. Hold down Option Alt+Enter+Shift to apply the cell format of the input cell to the entire cell range.

To create a matrix in which all the cells contain the same information as what you entered on the Input line, press Shift+Command Ctrl+Enter. You cannot edit the components of the matrix.

To select multiple cells in different areas of a sheet, hold down Command Ctrl and drag in the different areas.

To select multiple sheets in a spreadsheet, hold down Command Ctrl, and then click the name tabs at the lower edge of the workspace. To select only one sheet in a selection, hold down Shift, and then click the name tab of the sheet.

To insert a manual line break in a cell, click in the cell, and then press Command Ctrl+Enter.

To delete the contents of selected cells, press Backspace. This opens the Delete Contents dialog, where you choose which contents of the cell you want to delete. To delete the contents of selected cells without a dialog, press the Delete key.
