Shift-F2 in Excel 2025 does NOT go into edit mode as expected
Odd, for me (M365), Shift F2 opens the comment with the cursor right after the last character. As it has been doing for decades in all sorts of Excel versions and computers. There must be something wrong with your setup. Do you have any keyboard affecting software such as Autohotkey, or PowerToys installed?
It is neither issue. Not sure were my previous reply went to, but anyhow, it seems as though it is impacted by the Freeze Panes feature, which I didn't have that issue in 2013 desktop version. With Anything above and to the left of Cell D7 marked as Frozen Panes, comments in Columns A or B, and comments in Rows 1-6 does NOT go into edit mode, but yet, comments in any other cell including in column C (which I suspect that's become the comments in Column C actually reveals itself in Column D when shown) below row 6 does go into edit mode when pressing Shift-F2.
