Tap Option, type H O I, and the column fits. RibbonBridge completes Excel for Mac's KeyTips so the Alt-key sequences you learned on Windows work all the way to the last key.
One-time purchase. No subscription.
Excel for Mac has KeyTips, but they stop at the ribbon. Open a menu and the letters disappear, so you're back to the mouse. RibbonBridge adds the missing letters, using the same ones as Windows.
Excel shows its letters on the ribbon tabs, just like pressing Alt on Windows.
H for Home, O for Format. Excel opens the menu, and RibbonBridge puts a letter on every item.
I runs AutoFit Column Width. Your muscle memory just works, and ⌘Z undoes it as usual.
Made by a finance master's student for classmates who switched to a Mac and kept reaching for Alt.
Every item in every menu Excel's KeyTips open gets a letter. Where Windows has a known letter, RibbonBridge uses the same one.
Learned Excel on Alt E S for Paste Special or Alt O C A to autofit? Those work as well.
Only active in Excel, only after an Option tap. Holding Option still types @, |, [ ] on international keyboards.
Every command runs through Excel's own menus, so ⌘Z undoes it like anything else you do.
Nothing you type is recorded, stored or sent anywhere. It only reacts to keys right after an Option tap in Excel.
Install, allow the macOS permission, and one click switches on Excel's KeyTips for you.
A few favourites. Tap Option first, then type the keys one after another.

Microsoft 365 Excel for Mac with KeyTips (any recent version: Excel ▸ Settings ▸ Accessibility shows a KeyTips option). Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
macOS requires it for any app that reacts to key presses or presses buttons in another app. RibbonBridge uses it only inside Excel, and only right after you tap Option. Nothing you type is recorded or sent anywhere.
Menu letters work in any language. The Windows-matching letters and the classic sequences are English-only for now.
No. It only acts after a lone tap of Option (press and release, nothing else) while Excel is in front. Holding Option to type special characters works as always, and so does typing in cells.
No. RibbonBridge is an independent product. It builds on the KeyTips feature that Microsoft added to Excel for Mac.
