I know that I can right click on the arrows to the left of the worksheet tabs to bring up the list of worksheets in a workbook, and then select one to activate. I'm wondering if there is a way to open this list using a keyboard shortcut. I have searched quite a bit and I have not found a way to do this. It would save me quite a bit of time, because I am often switching between worksheets in large excel files where ctrl+pg up/down is not efficient, so I have to use my mouse to right click and bring up this list.

Wigi:
I've never heard of this command before. It does work. Where can I read more about this command. I did a Google search and cannot find much. Can it be used for other commands?

I created this script but Wigi has a better ideal.
Code:
Sub Activate_Sheet()
For i = 1 To Worksheets.Count
UserForm1.ListBox1.AddItem Worksheets(i).Name
Next
UserForm1.Show
End Sub
