How to Use Alt + H + F + S in Google Sheets
- Add the ShortieCuts extension to Chrome and open any Google Sheet.
- Select the cells you want to work on (if the command needs a selection).
- Press Alt (or Option on Mac). Excel-style key-tips appear over the sheet.
- Press H, F, then S. ShortieCuts runs Font Size, just like Excel.
Without an extension: Google Sheets doesn't support Excel's Alt key-tips, so Alt + H + F + S won't run Font Size on its own.
