For assigning a keyboard key to button on the sheet you can use this code, just copy this code to the sheet which contain the button.

Here Return specifies the key and get_detail is the procedure name.

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

    Application.OnKey "{RETURN}", "get_detail"

End Sub

Now within this sheet whenever you press Enter button the assigned macro will be called.

F5 is a standard shortcut to run a macro in VBA editor  I don t think you can add a shortcut key in editor itself  If you want to run the macro from excel  you can assign a shortcut from there   In excel press alt F8 to open macro dialog box  select the macro for which you want to assign shortcut key and click options  there you can assign a shortcut to the macro

According to Microsoft s documentation  On the Tools menu  point to Macro  and then click Macros   In the Macro name box  enter the name of the macro you want to assign to a keyboard shortcut key   Click Options   If you want to run the macro by pressing a keyboard shortcut key  enter a letter in the Shortcut key box  You can use CTRL  letter  for lowercase letters  or CTRL SHIFT  letter  for uppercase letters   where letter is any letter key on the keyboard  The shortcut key cannot use a number or special character  such as   or    Note  The shortcut key will override any equivalent default Microsoft Excel shortcut keys while the workbook that contains the macro is open   If you want to include a description of the macro  type it in the Description box   Click OK   Click Cancel

You can add some ALT Letter shortcuts to the VBA editor environment   I added ALT C to Comment selected text lines and A X to Uncomment selected text lines    In the VBE  right-click on a toolbar and select Customize Optionally create a new toolbar Select the Command Tab and  Edit  in the Categories listbox   Find  Comment Block  in the Commands listbox   Click and drag it to the target toolbar   Left-click on it to open the context popup menu and select  Image and Text    Replace the name with  amp C  Repeat step 3 for the Uncomment Block command and replace the name with  amp X  Close the Customize popup window    There are built-in Alt Letter commands that cannot be used for new shortcuts using letters  A D E D H I O Q R T V W

I ran into this problem myself  The only solution I have is to record the macro in an excel workbook first  Then  drag and drop THE MODULE from the open workbook into the add-in modules  This will be a copy of the above module  but the keyboard shortcut you assigned to it will thankfully persist   I just record a garbage macro and move it in there  then copy the code from my real module afterwords    Felt so great to figure this out  I felt like I had to reply to the 5 year old posts I found on the subject
