# 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.
