How to Use Alt + N + N + 1 in Google Sheets

  1. Add the ShortieCuts extension to Chrome and open any Google Sheet.
  2. Select the cells you want to work on (if the command needs a selection).
  3. Press Alt (or Option on Mac). Excel-style key-tips appear over the sheet.
  4. Press N, N, then 1. ShortieCuts runs Line Chart, just like Excel.

Without an extension: Google Sheets doesn't support Excel's Alt key-tips, so Alt + N + N + 1 won't run Line Chart on its own.
