I have a very simple question:
I used F2 in Windows version to edit the content of a cell - what is
the equivalent command in Mac? This feature help me save a lot of
time and avoid using so much the tedious double-click? Any help is
welcome.
Thanks

The equivalent you're looking for is Control+U. You can find all you need in
Excel Help if you search using the keyword: shortcuts.

The very simple answer is to look in Help. Try "keyboard shortcuts".

Of course, with MacXL you can change shortcuts to nearly anything you
want using Tools/Customize/Customize keyboard...

Unfortunately, the edit cell command is not one of those you can assign
to F2 directly. If you *must* use F2, you may want to look at the
technique here:
