Another Alt key Shortcut in Excel

When you press the Alt key there are numbers and letters that appear above the Quick Access Toolbar. These allow you to access those icons. Here is a trick I learned from Mike Girvin (ExcelisFun) to use the QAT shortcuts multiple times.

When you press the Alt key and then press another key you perform the action once.

If you want to repeat the action and you are only pressing one key for the QAT options, you can hold the Alt key down and press the number multiple times to repeat the action.

In the example below I have the Increase Font icon as my fourth icon on the QAT.

I can select a range and hold the Alt key down and press 4 multiple times to increase the font size with each press of 4.
