Shortcut key for "new comment" - Excel 365

[henryg]

Shift-F2 is still the shortcut key for inserting a new note (ex comment) but I cannot find a shortcut key for insering a new comment - Alt-RC will do it but nowhere near as easy; and my brain is wired for shift-F2 . Anyone, please?

There exists a New Comment icon in the All Commands section of the ribbon editor. You can add that to the QAT and it'll always be available.

Yes I've done that, but slow by comparison. I'll have to remember alt-rc.

Why not create yourself a Vba script like this and assign it a shortcut key
If you want it available in all Workbooks put the script in your Personal Workbook.

This script will put a Comment Box in the activecell and provide a few more treats if you want.

Sub Add_Comment()
'Modified  11/9/2018  7:20:16 PM  EST
ActiveCell.AddComment
With ActiveCell.Comment
    .Text "Us"
    .Shape.TextFrame.Characters.Font.Size = 16
    .Shape.TextFrame.AutoSize = True
    .Shape.Fill.ForeColor.SchemeColor = 7
End With
End Sub

If you want your comment to be different every time try this

Sub Add_Comment()
'Modified  11/9/2018  7:28:16 PM  EST
Dim ans As String
ans = InputBox("Enter Text do you want in comment")
ActiveCell.AddComment
With ActiveCell.Comment
    .Text ans
    .Shape.TextFrame.Characters.Font.Size = 16
    .Shape.TextFrame.AutoSize = True
    .Shape.Fill.ForeColor.SchemeColor = 7
End With
End Sub
