Hi everyone hope you're doing well and staying safe. Recently I've had to use numbers on mac os. I've been entering information into the cells of a spreadsheet bye virtual clicking on the cell then typing in the information. Is there a more efficient keyboard shortcut to do this? Pressing enter takes me to the next cell and the standard VoiceOver press with Control option space takes me to a place to enter comments. Am I missing something is there a keyboard shortcut I should be using to do this please? your help with this question would be most welcome, thank you very much kind regards Trey.

Hi, you don't need to click into a cell to enter data, or even formulas. Just move with the arrows to the cell and enter the data. If you need to move then to the cell below yu can press the Enter key, but if you need to move for example to a cell to the right, just press the arrow.

You only need to click a cell to edit data or formulas on it.

If a cell has data in it and you want to edit it, press Option-Enter. No need to simulate clicks in Numbers.
