Keyboard shortcut to delete a row

Cathy Cao

Hi Everyone,

I am used to working in excel and using keyboard shortcuts to navigate my sheets without having to use a mouse. Is there a keyboard shortcut to delete a row? if not can how do I let the product team know to add this to the development queue?

thanks!

Hi @Cathy Cao,

While there are keyboard shortcuts available for inserting rows and navigating to existing rows in a sheet, there isn't currently a shortcut available for deleting rows. Click here for the full list of keyboard shortcuts that can be used in Smartsheet and feel free to Submit a Product Enhancement Request for having a shortcut to delete rows considered as a possibility for future development.

Thanks,

Ben

Hi Cathy,

check it out here:

To save time, use following keyboard shortcut keys in Smartsheet. NOTE: Mac users should use Command ⌘ instead of Ctrl.

Hope this helps

Hi @Cathy Cao

Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment to delete a row with a keyboard shortcut, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

thanks @Stefan for the list of shortcuts and I see the Insert shortcut but not the inverse: Delete function. Is this something Smartsheet can work on?

Stefan

Hi @Cathy Cao,

possible and I suggest to push Smartsheet doing so by following the link André posted ;-)

I'm really suprised this isn't a shortcut in Smartsheet. I would highly support this feature being added to Smartsheet if possible!

Has there been any action on this request? It makes it very awkward to work with sheet organization without ability to delete using hotkey. Is there a reason this isn't implemented?

Would be great if we can get some feedback on this.

Would make a really big difference to the usability.

Has there been any movement on this? I'm a HUGE fan of this platform, but no keyboard shortcut to delete a row makes it clunky and often frustrating, and it's inconsistent with the all the other awesomeness of Smartsheet.
