Assigning a specific key press to force calculate now

[AceCo55]

I have been sent an Excel file that generates random maths questions.
I understand how this is happening and how it has been set up ... BUT

It has a message that says "press delete for a new question"
So pressing delete recalculates all the formulae over four worksheets

I know I can do this by pressing the F9 key but ...
How have they assigned the "delete" button to do that (& can I specify any key be assigned to do this?)
The file does not contain any macros

Thanks for any advice

Thank you for that suggestion but I may have not explained my issue clearly.
The author of the excel file has the text "press delete for a new question" for the students.
I would like to know how they have assigned the "delete" key to recalculate the formulae in the workbook

Unless I am misunderstanding the information in the link you provided, it seems to show a way of providing a recalculate button to the quick access toolbar?
My apologies if I haven't understood.

Somehow this person has assigned the delete key to do this. Im wondering how they did that.

I wasn't aware you could do that.
I thought that you could only assign keyboard shortcuts via either, the QAT, or a macro.

Sorry for not replying sooner - I have been away.
I contacted the person who wrote the file ... and you are right Fluff!
He said delete just triggers a recalculation so he put that that text in the file.

I would have used a text saying press F9 but he choose to use the delete key.

So if anyone comes across this thread in the future - you can't do what I thought he was doing.
I didn't realise that the delete key triggers a recalculation.

Sorry to have bothered you - and a big thank-you Fluff for your time and expertise.
Much appreciated - I have learned something.
