Is there a quick key (crtl + something) to use the color fill feature in a cell?

I am coloring in some cells in a pattern, and every time I am highlighting the cell, then clicking the color fill button (the paint can tipping over).

Thank you! :biggrin:
 

Excel Facts

Fastest way to copy a worksheet?
Hold down the Ctrl key while dragging tab for Sheet1 to the right. Excel will make a copy of the worksheet.
Great to have so much time that you can paint patterns. :biggrin:
Another opion is to Double-Click the Format-Painter (the paintbrush) then any cell you select will also be filled. Click it once to switch it off

Very sneaky...

This is WAY cool... and saves my poor little fingers (I was stretching as far as I possibly could to reach the Crtl and the Y at the same time).

Thank you again, I bow before your Excel Intelligence...

:pray:
