Google Sheets on Windows runs in the browser, Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or another supported browser. There is no separate native Windows app. The shortcut set uses Ctrl as its primary modifier. Ctrl+/ opens the built-in shortcut reference panel within Sheets without leaving the spreadsheet.
Built-in shortcut list. Ctrl+/ opens Google Sheets' keyboard shortcut panel. Searchable and categorized, the fastest way to find a Sheets shortcut you've forgotten without switching to another tab.
Data range navigation. Ctrl+Arrow jumps to the last filled cell in the arrow's direction. Ctrl+Down from a cell in the middle of a data column jumps to the last row of data in one keystroke. Ctrl+Shift+Arrow extends the selection to the data range boundary. These are the shortcuts that make navigating large datasets practical without a mouse, and they match Excel on Windows exactly.
Paste values only. Ctrl+Shift+V pastes the clipboard contents as values only, stripping source formatting and formulas. This is a frequently used operation in spreadsheet work that avoids the more complex Paste Special dialog.
Formula entry. Entering and exiting cell edit mode, navigating within the formula bar, and managing formula autocomplete suggestions all have keyboard controls. These are in the table above.
Menu bar access. Pressing Alt in Google Sheets on Windows activates menu navigation (File, Edit, View, Insert, Format, Data, Tools, Extensions, Help). This gives keyboard access to any Sheets feature, including those without a direct shortcut.
Strikethrough. Alt+Shift+5 applies strikethrough formatting in Google Sheets on Windows, the same shortcut as in Google Docs on Windows. Consistent across Google Workspace apps.
The Google Sheets Windows shortcut list is available as a printable PDF. Cell navigation and formula entry shortcuts are the most valuable to print for anyone spending significant time in Sheets.
Yes. Ctrl+Arrow in Google Sheets jumps to the last filled cell in the arrow's direction, the same behavior as Excel on Windows. If you use both applications, this navigation shortcut transfers directly between them.
It pastes the clipboard contents as values only, without carrying over the source formatting, formulas, or styling. This is the Sheets equivalent of "Paste Special → Values" and avoids the multi-step dialog that comes with other paste operations.
Yes. Alt+Shift+5 applies strikethrough in both Google Docs and Google Sheets on Windows. This consistency makes it easy to remember across Google Workspace apps.
