Google Sheets + Vim bindings = SheetKeys If you use vim, know vim keybindings, love keyboard shortcuts, or love editing efficiency: You should try SheetKeys. This is an open-source extension with a trustworthy and responsive maintainer. Cannot recommend enough!

I've used Vimium (from the same developer) for years and totally rely on it. Now that I have discovered SheetKeys I am converted to using Google Sheets instead of MS Excel. It may sound trivial but reaching for the arrow keys is-a-stretch for me and having vim commands to navigate a spreadsheet and perform other functions is so much more intuitive. Thank you Phil :)

This is Great! I was waiting for this type of Vim binding to Google Sheets. Can you please make a one for Google Docs? One thing I noticed ;ac Align center is not working. Align left and right is fine. Thank you very much!
