Feedback

KeyTips for Mac lacks full navigation in dropdown menus. This should be resolved.

 

Example

Windows: ALT + H + O + I selects the Auto-fit Column Width option instantly.

MacOS: ALT + H + O opens the dropdown menu, but then it requires arrow key or mouse click navigation to reach the Auto-fit Column Width option, breaking full keyboard workflow.

 

Questions

  1. Why does this limitation exist?
  2. When will the KeyTips functionality fully match its Windows counterpart?

 

Some words of appreciation

The introduction of KeyTips to Office for Mac is a significant enhancement. Despite the 18-year gap since its Windows debut, its arrival to Mac is commendable. We look forward to its continued development towards full functionality.
