XLKeys - Excel Shortcuts for Google Sheets

Bring Excel keyboard shortcuts, formula auditing, Goal Seek, Sensitivity Tables, and formatting tools to Google Sheets.

XLKeys turns Google Sheets into a power-user spreadsheet by bringing the Excel keyboard shortcuts and analytical tools you actually use back to the browser — no more reaching for the mouse. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The full set of Excel formatting and navigation shortcuts, working natively in Sheets: • Number formats — %, $, date, time, accounting, scientific, exponential • Borders — top, bottom, outside, all, thick outside, double, none • Alignment, indent, merge, text rotation, freeze panes, gridlines • Font color and fill color cycling • Insert / delete rows and columns • Paste Special — values only, formulas only, formatting, transpose, widths, everything-but-borders • Filters, decimals, and dimension controls Every shortcut is fully customizable in the Options page. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FORMULA AUDITING ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The features financial modelers actually need but Sheets doesn't ship with: • Trace Precedents — see every cell a formula reads from, including across sheets, and jump to any of them • Trace Dependents — see every cell that depends on the selected cell • Auto Color-Code — instantly highlight formulas (black), hardcoded inputs (blue), same-sheet refs (purple), and cross-sheet refs (green) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ANALYSIS TOOLS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Excel's classic What-If toolkit, finally on Sheets: • Goal Seek — solve for the input value that makes a target cell hit a specific result • Sensitivity Tables — fill an Excel-style two-variable data table • What-If — model scenarios and compare outcomes ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ EXPORT ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • One-key export of any selection as a clean image, ready to paste into Docs, Slides, Notion, or email ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PRIVACY ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ XLKeys runs entirely inside Google Sheets. We only access your spreadsheet data when you trigger a feature that needs it (formula tracing, Goal Seek, etc.) — never in the background. No spreadsheet content is ever sent to our servers. See the privacy policy for full details. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PRICING ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Free to install. Premium analytical features (Goal Seek, Sensitivity Tables, What-If, Trace Precedents/Dependents) require a paid license — start with a free trial right from the extension popup. Built by a finance / modeling background for people who live in spreadsheets. Questions or feature requests? Reply to your install email or visit our site.
