Is there a keyboard shortcut to open a pop-up menu in Numbers 3?

I have lots of spreadsheets with cells formatted as popup menus. I am accustomed to tabbing from cell to cell, and then tapping the spacebar to open the pop-up menu to select an option. Now it appaers that the only way to open a pop-up menu in Numbers 3 is to take my hand off the keyboard, mouse to the arrow button near the cell, click it, and then select an option. This is ridiculous. Has the shortcut changed, or is it just gone?

Hi ozzwladoman,


This is an old thread. Hitting the spacebar of course worked in Numbers 2, as noted in the thread to which you link.

But it didn't trigger the Pop-Up Menu in the first releases of Numbers 3. The spacebar trigger has been restored quite recently, I think in the April release of Numbers 3.2.


In general Pop-ups are much improved in Numbers 3 over Numbers 2.
