Hotkey - Ctrl "R"

MattBarnesKV

Hello Smartsheets Community,

I am aware the developers tried to mimic Excel's functionality as much as they were able to, but a fundamental hotkey I use in Excel is "Ctrl" + "R", which allows you to copy any cell to the right of the selected cells very quickly. 

When I attempt to do this in Smartsheets, my browser (Chrome) reads the hotkey as "Reload Page", not "copy to the right". Any tips? Can i disable the chrome browser hotkey? 

Thanks in advance.

Only way I can think of off the top of my head by using the chrome extension 'Shortkeys (Custom Keyboard Shortcuts)' - But I'm not sure if it will mean ctrl+r will work in SS.

Hi Matt,

Unfortunately, Smartsheet doesn't have the "copy to the right feature", but it's a great idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

Have a fantastic week!

Lachlan - I attempted that, but it still wasn't coded into SS. 

 

Andrée - I've submitted an Enhancement Request, upon your request. 

 

I would love to see this change happen. May drive me to code everything in excel and copy over to SS... a bit of wasted time. 

 

Thanks,
