Shortcut key to edit cell in Google Sheets

Question

I'm on a Macbook Pro, working quite a lot in Google Sheets. I've deactivated the F-keys (so it's not an option to use F2). I can't find a shortcut for editing a cell with text in it. If it's an empty cell I can just start typing. But if I want to edit a cell with content in it, I can't seem to find a way to do it. I've tried these:

• CMD+ENTER
• CTRL+ENTER
• CMD+u
• CTRL+u
• CMD+e
• CTRL+e

fn-F2 is not an option.

I don't want to use the mouse (double-click on a cell to edit)...It's so clumsy and slow.

Answer 1

You can just press the Enter key and it should start editing your current cell.

Answer 2

F2 seemed like a cumbersome keyboard shortcut for such a basic thing as editing a cell, so I was really relieved when I finally realised that just pressing Enter works too.

Answer 3

In the hope of avoiding disappointment should anyone happen on this expecting a more comprehensive answer, the editing shortcut keys for a Mac are listed at M+ Google/Archive:

Action                  Shortcut
Undo                    ⌘+Z
Insert time             ⌘+Shift+:
Insert date             ⌘+;
Fill range              ⌘+Enter
Fill down               ⌘+D
Fill right              ⌘+R
Insert/edit comment     Shift+F2
Redo                    ⌘+Y
Edit a cell             Fn+F2
Ignore changes          Escape

Details should also be accessible through the Help menu (image from a Windows system):

Answer 4

Wups... I can see, that when I press the FN, then the F-keys are actually showed in the touch-bar.

So FN+F2 is actually an option. However... I improved it, but mapping CTRL+U to FN+F2 using BetterTouchTool (really easy to setup these shortcuts in there).
