Question

I need to put a series of keystrokes in Excel: 1. Y3, 2. Y4, 3. T., 4. Enter However, after I put y3, it does somehow not hold the “ALT”, so that it puts “Y4 etc.” in the activated cell instead of using it as a keystroke.

I tried several options for the command, none of those are working (I also tried to vary the delay time.

  • [ALT DOWN][ALT UP]y3y4t
  • [ALT DOWN][ALT UP]y3y4t[ALT DOWN][ALT UP]
  • [ALT DOWN]y3y4t[ALT UP]
  • [ALT DOWN]y3[ALT UP] & new line [ALT DOWN]y4[ALT UP]

    The solution is to modify the “Sticky Keys” on “Ease of Access Keyboard settings”. Just unmark all checkboxes
