Ctrl+D and Ctrl+R actions have been changed
The keyboard shortcuts that I have been using for years to complete my work quickly and efficiently has been changed to completely different actions. The shortcut Ctrl+D was a convenient use to copy...
Upon reading your message I shut down WebEx and did not have any response from [Ctrl] +D. I then restarted WebEx and used task manager to shut it down. I restarted Excel and was able to use the [Ctrl] + D shortcut. However, since WebEx is an integral internal messaging system with our company, this is not an option for me. If I do have volumes of work to perform, I may consider it. So, yes. it is the same result for me. Thanks for sharing.
Debra1070If you can live without the Decline Call shortcut, you can remove it and resolve this issue like so:
I'm going to open a Cisco case about this, this must be a bug in the new version of WebEx.
- Nah they just think they are that important I get maybe one call a month at most. the rest of the time all communication is email or Microsoft Teams.
- Yep thanks to this... I'm removing all global shortcuts... I get a call once a month at best. No reason for that app to have such global key capture.
I realise I am fortunate to be able to model how I choose and am not constrained by corporate standards or the need to collaborate with others during development. As a result, I haven't used a relative reference since 2019 and had largely moved to array formula from the time I came into conflict with a financial modelling standard (2015) that mandated 'do not use defined names, except ...' and 'do not use array formulas'. I made it clear that I regarded their 'Standard' as poor programming practice, but as long as I wasn't expected to follow it we could agree to go our separate ways.
I would be interested to know what constraints you work under in order to better understand them but would not wish to prevail upon your time educating me!
- We are using Excel 365. Ctrl + R is a function to copy data or formulas. We are not always given the luxury of using dynamic arrays. Thank-you for your kind offer of assistance.
Another option is to move to Excel 365 since dynamic array formulas rarely (never?) require Ctrl+R.
- Wonderful!!!! I removed the shortcut from WebEx and also removed the [Ctrl] + R shortcut from WebEx since Excel had lost that shortcut also. Once removed, Excel had the shortcuts back in full function. Thank-you for your help and sharing your successes.
