Excel · Smart formatting

Navifia tab → ConfigSmart formatting (dialog: Navifia — Smart Formatting).

Personal cyclers: ordered lists of format variants. One shortcut applies the next variant on the selection, then wraps. Moving to a different cell restarts at the first variant; only repeating the shortcut on the same cell/range steps forward.

When to use it: cycle house number formats, text styles, borders, or colours with one chord instead of opening Format Cells.

Troubleshooting

  • Jumps to the first variant unexpectedly — you changed the selection; stay on the same cell/range to step the cycle.
  • Shortcut does nothing — disabled or rebound in Keyboard shortcuts; license must be active.
