Shift-F2 in Excel 2025 does NOT go into edit mode as expected
I have a workbook which I have very comments in it. In Excel 2013 on the old computer, whenever I pressed "Shift-F2", it would go into edit mode with the cursor in it. Now that I am in Excel 2025 (...
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 seems the Freeze Panes feature is impacting it in 2025 version of Excel. Columns A-C and Rows 1-6 are frozen in place, and only the comments that are either in Columns A or B, and/or in rows 1-6 does NOT go into edit mode, which then I have to click on one of the lines of the actual comment, not below the comment within the comment text box to have it go into edit mode.
