@ Symbol in Excel on Sharepoint

Question

Hey,

Even the Chatgpt couldn't help me out so I wanted to ask you this very simple question.

I can't find the shortcut for the @ symbol on Excel when I'm working on an online file in Sharepoint.

Besides Sharepoint, the regular shortcut (option + Q) works fine but when I'm on Sharepoint, this shortcut is being used for the search bar.

Can you please tell me the shortcut for @ symbol? Don't wanna use any on screen keyboards or other stuff, just need the keyboard shortcut. Thanks.

Hi Batuhan KÖKLÜÇINAR,

Greetings. Thank you for posting the thread to our community.

I understand your concern, it seems you cannot use the keyboards shortcut option + Q to type œ in Excel online on Mac. For the situation you’ve encountered, I do understand the inconvenience caused and feel very sorry about it.

After my test, the reason why cannot use this shortcut is because it conflicts to the search bar shortcut in Excel online:

In that case, I’m afraid and sorry to say it is due to design, not like in Windows you can use shortcut Alt + 0156 to type the œ symbol.

Due to this situation, Personally, I’m totally agree about the inconvenience of unable to use this shortcut in Excel online on Mac. In that case, I suggest you can go to this link: Excel · Community (microsoft.com) to go to our Feedback community and send your feedback and requirements. Our product team is in charge of the site, and they constantly check customer reviews and feedback, and a lot of the features are developed and improved based on customer feedback.

At the same time, I will keep this thread open, so that other members in our community could share their ideas in this thread.
