Keyboard-only Excel · timed · scored

Get fast at Excel.
No mouse. Just reps.

hotkey.gg is a speedrun trainer for the keystrokes and modeling moves that fill an analyst's day. Real tasks, the exact Windows shortcuts, timed to the hundredth of a second — drilled until they're reflex.

No install. Runs in the browser. Invite-only beta — built for the summer before the internship.
How it works

Drills, not lessons.

You don't read about shortcuts here. You execute them, against the clock, until they stop being something you think about.

01

Real tasks, real keystrokes

Exercises mirror what first-years actually do — paste-special values, clean a formatting mess, AutoSum, make a tab model-ready — using the exact Windows Excel shortcuts. The muscle memory transfers one-to-one.

02

Scored like a speedrun

Every run is timed, and your keystrokes are counted against the optimal path. You can watch your times drop as the moves turn into reflex — the same loop that makes typing tests addictive.

03

Keyboard or nothing

Reach for the mouse and the run gets flagged. The whole point is to work the way fast modelers work — hands on the home row, ribbon driven by Alt key tips, never hunting for a button.

The board

Fastest hands win.

Every run posts a time. Climb the board against your class — and find out who actually deserves the bragging rights before anyone sets foot on a desk.
