How to detect if ctrl + enter in an Excel spreadsheet with VBA

Question

My understanding is: Macro canNOT be activated while a cell is active for editing.

I notice by hitting ctrl + enter , the cell is de-activate for editing but remain selected. I would like then to run some macro refer to this cell.

Therefore, using VBA, how to detect if ctrl + enter is pressed?

Answer 1

Easiest way should be using the Change event of the worksheet.
This would not (only) detect a ctrl + enter but any change of a cell.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

End Sub

This sub has to be added to the worksheets code (not into a module)!

Another approach would be using the OnKey Method

 Application.OnKey "^{RETURN}", "InsertProc"
