PE associate here. I'm pretty familiar with excel, but feel like shortcuts are a little overrated. I use them when handy, but I also use my mouse a good amount (eg moving to a cell far away on the screen). Am I being stubborn / is it really optimal to be 100% keyboard only? I've only received really good feedback on my excel skills and am generally performing well.

Honestly you gave the one use case to ever use a mouse in excel. Pretty annoying to control arrow up 8 times to get to the top of your model or something. But otherwise no .. not overrated.
