Lotus compatibility issues - / (slash) key not activating menus
Recently my backwards compatibility has stopped working. I use "/ ed" to delete rows or "/ e s v" to paste special values.
If i use these after it hit the "/" and "e" whatever I type just gets input in the cell I am in.
This has just recently become a problem. Did not have issues with it before.
Pasted below is the Options, Advanced settings which have not been changed from when this functionality was working.
Appreciate any help.

- Instead of the forward slash, you can achieve the same by holding down the Alt key and then pressing the same key sequence as you are used to using.
OK - good workaround. But how do I get the forward slash to work as it always had?
Which version of Excel do you use, on which platform?
/ as menu key still works for me in Excel in fully updated Microsoft 365 for Windows, on Windows 11.
