Step by step

  1. Install LightningXL

    Download LightningXL, then follow the instructions. Setup takes about two minutes.

  2. Select what to act on

    Click a cell, or select the range the command should apply to.

  3. Tap Option, then type X T C

    Tap ⌥ on its own to show the keytips, then X for LightningXL, T for Trace, C for Clear Arrows.

What Alt X T C does

Clear Arrows sits under LightningXL › Trace on the Excel ribbon. On Windows, Alt X T C runs it from the keyboard. Excel for Mac has the same ribbon but no Alt key, so without LightningXL you click through LightningXL › Trace › Clear Arrows instead.
