Keybinding Reference
This appendix lists the keyboard shortcuts which are defined by default in Gnumeric.
Keybindings are combinations of keystrokes which tell an application to run a task. These can greatly speed-up the user's interactions with an application. Some of the most common ones are Ctrl+s to save a file or Ctrl+q to quit the application. Gnumeric also comes with keybindings to make your spreadsheet experience faster.
Normally, keybindings are next to a command in a menu. For example, if has Ctrl+s next to it, that means that Ctrl+s can be typed at the same time to save your file. However, some keystrokes aren't listed in the menus. They are as follows:
- F2 sets the current cell for editing. The cursor is inserted at the end of the current text.
- Ctrl-O opens the Load file dialog window.
- Ctrl-F3 opens the Define Name dialog window.

- Ctrl-G opens the Go to dialog window which allows you to jump to a specified cell.
