How to insert a tab in a cell in Excel for Microsoft 365

Question

For inserting a tab in a cell, I have tried the instructions from a few resources but none work. Here is one from Microsoft Learn has options but they do not work: How do I indent in Excel 2011 for Mac?

Also this one does not work: How to include a tab in an Excel for Mac cell - Mac equivalent of char(9)

Note: I'd far prefer to have a shortcut way to do this operation instead of needing to hit ribbon, or menubar, or click on something else.

Answer 1

Keyboard shortcut for inserting tab (Increase Indent) is Option-Control-Tab.

One way to find, assign and override existing keyboard shortcuts in Excel is Tools > Customize Keyboard. There is possibility to search for commands, see their current shortcuts and assign (if no keyboard shortcut exists) or override (change to personal preferences).
