Open the list anytime with Ctrl+Alt+/ (same chord in PowerPoint). Dialog: Navifia — Keyboard Shortcuts. Also: ConfigKeyboard Shortcuts.

When to use it: learn defaults, disable a chord that fights Excel, or rebind for your house style.
Keyboard Shortcuts dialog
Keyboard Shortcuts — view and rebind chords.

1. Rebind

  1. Press Ctrl+Alt+/ (or Configure → Keyboard Shortcuts).
  2. Click the chord next to an action → press a new combination (must include Ctrl or Alt), or Esc to disable.
  3. Save — conflicts (same chord twice) are blocked. No restart needed.

2. Default chords

Shortcut overrides travel in Excel Export setup / Import setup — see Configure.

Troubleshooting

  • Shortcut does nothing — disabled or rebound here; check conflicts; license must be active for most actions.
  • Conflicts with Excel — pick another chord (e.g. native Filter is also Ctrl+Shift+L; Navifia wins while the add-in is loaded).
