Does anyone have the lifesaving knowledge to format/edit charts in excel 2016 w/o the mouse

Seriously has anyone figured this shit out yet? It's killing me. My firm went to excel 2016 and now when I go ctrl + 1 to edit charts I cant FUCKING cycle through the chart options using the tab key etc. From what I've gathered so far, YOU CAN BASICALLY ONLY USE THE FUCKING MOUSE TO EDIT THE STUFF WITHIN THE CHARTS. This shit is killing me. Yes I understand you can still technically move around without the mouse within the popup but nowhere near as efficiently.

Essentially what I'm asking is if anyone knows how to restore the pop-up window (like the one that pops up when you hit ctrl 1 to format anything else in excel) for formatting graphs that was there in previous versions.

If anyone knows how to revert back to the excel 2010 settings (without reverting back to excel 10) where you can actually cycle through and change chart colors, axes, etc. like you can for everything else in excel I will throw you every silver banana I ever earn from here on out and probably give you a third of my bonus

 

This isn't exactly what you were asking for, but if you need to do a bunch of graphs all in similar format, do one manually, then you can alt e s t the rest of the them so the format matches the first one. Saves a ton of time.

Obviously alt e s t is pretty widely used for text and numbers but until recently I had no idea it worked for charts and graphs as well.
