Sheets use the keys you know from other spreadsheets:
- Arrow keys move between cells; hold Shift to select a range, and Cmd to jump to the edge of the data.
- Tab and Enter move right and down (with Shift, left and up). Start typing to replace a cell, or press F2 to edit what's in it.

If you dictate into your browser, or something else needs the keys, you can turn the editor's shortcuts off: open Settings at the bottom-right of the tab bar, pick Keyboard, and switch off Keyboard Shortcuts. It is saved on this device only.
