Get good at Excel, really fast

We use Apple's assistive features to control Mac Excel and simulate Window's alt-key shortcuts, without inconvenient or expensive workarounds. It's a better way to use Excel.

Unobtrusive convenience

Accelerator Keys runs quietly in your menu-bar. When Excel is open, the app watches for keystrokes, and uses the Accessibility API to display hotkeys and control Excel.

Why we built this

Mac users of Excel have struggled with the lack of alt-key shortcuts for the past 10 years with only painful workarounds available (see Reddit and Microsoft's forum).

macOS's increased support for accessibility features recently enabled a new way to control Mac Excel. Mac users can now use alt-key shortcuts without spending a lot or inconvenient setups. Give it a try!

Issues with current workarounds

  • Bootcamp: Inconvenient to switch between Windows and Mac partitions, when most of our apps are on the Mac partition. Read-only access to Mac files from Windows partition without paid third-party software. Requires an additional Office license (US$150 per year).
  • Running a VM (e.g. Parallels): Laggy and consumes a lot of CPU. Some keyboard shortcuts still don't work properly. And this isn't cheap — Parallels costs US$80/year, and you need additional Windows and Office licenses.
  • Buying a separate PC: Technically this works…but surely we can do better than buying a new computer?

How to Use Alt Shortcuts on Mac for Excel

Mac users have always struggled to use Windows-style Alt key shortcuts in Excel. Here's how Accelerator Keys solves this problem.

  1. Understand the Option Key: On a Mac keyboard, the Option key (⌥) is in the same position as the Alt key on Windows. While macOS doesn't natively support Excel's Alt-key ribbon shortcuts, Accelerator Keys bridges this gap by intercepting Option key presses and translating them into the ribbon commands you know from Windows.
  2. Install Accelerator Keys: Download Accelerator Keys and follow the simple setup wizard. The app needs accessibility permissions to detect keystrokes and control Excel—this takes just a few clicks to configure.
  3. Use Your Windows Shortcuts: Once installed, open Excel and press the Option key. You'll see the familiar ribbon navigation letters appear, just like in Windows. Type the same key sequence you use on Windows (like H, V, V for Paste Values) to execute the command.

Example: To paste values on Mac Excel, press Option → H → V → V — the same as Alt + H V V on Windows.

Desi Girl Hidden Bath Portable Jun 2026

Setting up a temporary wellness space requires minimal effort. Follow these steps for a safe experience.

Add traditional Desi wellness elements like Epsom salts, rose petals, or a few drops of sandalwood or jasmine essential oil to create a deeply relaxing atmosphere.

These offer maximum comfort, featuring soft, cushioned sides. They are excellent for comfort but require space for inflation [1].

Do not let large amounts of soapy water pool in public pathways. Scatter the wastewater over a wide area of soil or dispose of it in designated utility sinks.

But what exactly is it? Is it a gadget? A survival tactic? Or a lifestyle change? In this comprehensive guide, we will unpack how to build, buy, and utilize a portable bath system that fits into your handbag, ensuring you never have to compromise your safety or hygiene again.

Use diyas or scented candles to create a calm, warm environment.

Fashion is the most visible aspect of Indian lifestyle content. However, the narrative is shifting. While the Sari (often called the only unstitched garment that flatters every body type) remains eternal, the "Indo-Western" movement is the reality of the streets.

In many South Asian households or shared living spaces, bathroom availability can be a challenge. The need for a "hidden" or discreet setup arises when standard facilities are occupied or lack the privacy required for a comfortable routine. Portable bath solutions offer: Turn any corner into a wash station. Space Saving: Ideal for studio apartments or small rooms. Setting up a temporary wellness space requires minimal

✅ These tents are opaque, ensuring that no one can see you while you change, shower, or use a portable toilet. This is crucial for anyone raised with a high regard for modesty.

Fill the tub using a flexible shower hose adapter. Always mix cold water first, then add hot water, keeping the final temperature under 40°C (104°F) to protect the synthetic materials. Post-Bath Maintenance and Drying

Find a single-person washroom. Lock the door. If there is a western toilet, put the lid down. This becomes your "table."

Lifestyle content in India is incomplete without discussing Vastu. It is the ancient science of architecture that dictates where the kitchen should face (south-east) and where your head should point while sleeping (south). Even millennials renting apartments in Mumbai will obsess over the main entrance direction. These offer maximum comfort, featuring soft, cushioned sides

The beauty of a hidden bath is that it disappears when you're done. Always rinse the tub with a mild disinfectant and before folding it away. This prevents mold and ensures your spa remains hygienic for the next use. Final Thoughts

For the desi girl who misses the luxury of a long soak after a stressful week at work or classes, the portable folding bathtub is a miracle of modern design. These are not the heavy, bulky acrylic tubs of your parents' home. Instead, they are lightweight constructs made of layered PVC, vinyl, or durable fabric supported by internal rods or air frames.

India has its own version of the Swedish Fika or the Japanese Shokunin . It is the unspoken social contract.
