Alt mode shortcuts

Equals supports the full set of Excel alt mode shortcuts. On a Mac, use option to enter alt mode. On a PC, use shift-alt to enter alt mode. Once you enter alt mode you will see the toolbar light up. You can then follow the hints to systematically trigger any action in the spreadsheet. For example, press H to access any of the associated actions in the blue area above. From here, hitting 1 will toggle bold on the selected cell.
