Best Answer

If you have more than one cell selected and type something and then press Ctrl-Enter, it will put what is typed into all the selected cells. So it can be used as a quick way of filling a lot of cells or copying a formula into a range when it is entered, rather than copying it separately afterwards. If just one cell is selected, then after pressing Ctrl-Enter the same still will still be active, rather than moving to a different cell.

F2 edits a cell. Shift Ctrl Enter will enter a value into a cell. If more than one cell has been selected, all the selected cells will be filled with the value. If a formula is entered, Shift Ctrl Enter, will enter it as an array formula.
