Cell to Cell Movement Speed

[xstodeepak]

Hi, I've been facing a strange issue relating to Cell to Cell movement speed using arrow keys. I've two laptops which have similar specifications and operating systems. In one laptop, the movement speed, when I continuously keep any of the arrow keys pressed for some time, is very very high as compared to the other laptop. Did try to search a lot about increasing the speedof cell to cell movement with arrow keys but was not successful.

The speed difference is so high that it affects the efficiency at workplaceas the movement is so fast that I navigate through the tables very quicklyand easily and complete my task much earlier than on the other laptop.

If anyone can help me in this regard, it'd be great as I'd be able to advise my colleagues on how to increase the cell to cell movement speed. Thanks.

Have you played with the keyboard settings any? IIRC, there's a repeat
speed setting that you can modify...

No, the Keyboard settings are exactly same. No difference at all.

This is pretty unlikely to be Excel related.

Example: If one laptop's hard disk has much less empty space,
it may take a long time to swap. Moving from one part of a
big spreadsheet to another may require swapping, and that may
be very slow if the disk is close to full.

Example: If one machine's disk has some bad blocks, it may
get stuck on them.

Also, be sure you have some good anti-malware installed.

Adding to Socks' good advice.., my reason for suggesting to look at
keyboard settings is because the issue isn't with Excel per se.
Something about the system processing speed is different on one machine
over the other. So if your keyboard settings 'appear' to be identical
then there must be either a difference in the core speed of the two
machines that's affecting behavior, OR an inherent keyboad problem.

Resources plays a part as well.

<FWIW>
I have 4 laptops with varying cpu speeds (1.63GHz to 2.53GHz). I can
run the same file over my network on any one (or all at the same time)
and there's no 'perceivable' difference in cell-to-cell movement on any
machine. The settings 'appear' to be identical ( 1/4 from Slow) on
every machine and this is blazingly fast enough!
