# Gnumeric Keybindings

Keybindings are combinations of keystrokes which tell an application to run a task. These can greatly speed-up the user's interactions with an application. Some of the most common ones are Ctrl s to save a file or Ctrl q to quit the application. Gnumeric also comes with keybindings to make your spreadsheet exprience faster.

Normally, keybindings are next to a command in a menu. For example, if Save has Ctrl s next to it, that means that Ctrl s can be typed at the same time to save your file. However, some keystrokes aren't listed in the menus. They are as follows:

- F2 sets the current cell for editing. The cursor is inserted at the end of the current text.

- F3 opens the Load file dialog window.

- Ctrl-F3 opens the Define Name dialog window.

- F5 opens the Go to dialog window which allows you to jump to a specified cell.

- F6 opens the Search and Replace dialog where you can search through your spreadsheets for text strings and replace them with something else.

- F7 opens the Search Center. The Search Center allows you to search through your spreadsheets for text strings.

- Ctrl-~ Formats the current selection as a number.

- Ctrl-$ Formats the current selection with the default currency

- Ctrl-# Formats the current selection with default date style

- Ctrl-^ Formats the current selection as using scientific notation

- Ctrl-@ Formats the current selection with the default time format
