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 Y W

    Tap ⌥ on its own to show the keytips, then X for LightningXL, Y for Symbol, W for Won.

What Alt X Y W does

Won sits under LightningXL › Symbol on the Excel ribbon. On Windows, Alt X Y W runs it from the keyboard. Excel for Mac has the same ribbon but no Alt key, so without LightningXL you click through LightningXL › Symbol › Won instead.
