Let's take a moment to appreciate FactSet shortcuts

As per title, the FactSet add-in for PPT and Excel is legendary and I cannot imagine how slow I would be if I had to move to a bank that uses CapIQ or any other add-in. These guys have been saving me countless of hours and made my life 100x easier. ALT CCE/ ALT CCC/W/S, ALT CET are game changer and there's countless other shortcuts that make everything extremely smoother. Surprisingly I don't see people talk much about them.

What add-in you use at your bank?

Agreed. We had FactSet. Alt S+R+W and Alt S+R+S were helpful for Excel. The FactSet dynamic formulas are also so intuitive to create. I love the shapes tool on Powerpoint where you can copy the exact same shape and swap into the exact same position without having to approximate. Alt + Y3 + C + (C or O) were clutch asf. I had CapIQ at another place, and it sucks compared to FactSet in terms of functionalities.
