How to Use Alt + H + O + M 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, O, then M. ShortieCuts runs Move or Copy Sheet, just like Excel.
ShortieCuts runs Google Sheets' Copy To command for the active sheet.
Without an extension: Google Sheets doesn't support Excel's Alt key-tips, so Alt + H + O + M won't run Move or Copy Sheet on its own.
