    Add SheetCuts to Chrome and pin it

    Already installed? Skip straight to pinning: click the puzzle-piece at the top-right of Chrome, then the pin next to SheetCuts. Pinned, it’s one click to your settings and the on/off switch.

    Add to Chrome — free trial
  2. 2

    Start your 14-day free trial

    Open any Google Sheet and press Alt. The first time, SheetCuts asks you to sign in with the Google account you use for Sheets — that starts your trial. No card needed; after 14 days it’s $6/mo or $49/yr.

    Practice right here

    This mini-sheet behaves like the real thing — no install needed. Click it, then press Alt: the key tips appear at the bottom of the screen. Type the letters one after another; there’s no need to hold Alt.

    The practice sheet needs a keyboard — try it on your computer.

    • Bold a cell
      Alt › H › 1
    • Fill it with colour
      Alt › H › H, arrows to pick, Enter
    • Repeat it elsewhere
      Move with the arrows, press F4 — it repeats the exact colour
    • Use Quick Access
      Alt › 1 … 9 runs your favourites (try a layout in step 4)

  4. 4

    Build your Quick Access Toolbar

    Just like Excel: up to nine favourites on Alt › 1–9. Tap commands below to try a layout in the practice sheet, then set yours for real in SheetCuts Settings — press Alt › F › T in any sheet, or click the SheetCuts icon › Customize shortcuts. That’s also where you add your own key combos and Alt sequences.

  5. 5

    Trace Precedents & Dependents Optional

    Ctrl+[ and Ctrl+] — just like Excel — (or Alt › M › P / D) list every cell that feeds, or reads from, your selection across every tab. Enter jumps to each one.

    🔒 The first time you trace, Chrome asks to let SheetCuts read files from googleusercontent.com — that’s where Google serves your spreadsheet’s own download. It goes straight into your browser: nothing is uploaded to us, and no extra Google account access is requested. Privacy policy

    Use it in a real sheet

    Open any Google Sheet (or Slides deck) and press Alt. F4 repeats your last command — even a colour you picked or a width you typed.
