I never knew there was a "command" to edit a cell. I just double-click the cell to edit.

It's brilliant! I use it all the time in Excel... Problem is that I am trying my hardest to move across to Numbers. Is this feature available in Numbers and does anyone know what the key combination is?

The "edit cell" shortcut for Numbers is alt-enter. I just followed this hint and used Butler to map that to F2 only for Numbers and it works great! Having to click on the cell to edit it has been driving me nuts.
