How to Use Alt + P + 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 P, then M. ShortieCuts runs Margins, just like Excel.
ShortieCuts opens the Google Sheets print settings with the margins option ready.
Without an extension: Google Sheets doesn't support Excel's Alt key-tips, so Alt + P + M won't run Margins on its own.
