<p class="MsoNormal">You can also copy and paste the "restored default" in spreadsheet view with CTRL C and CTRL V. But you can only paste one cell at a time - it doesn't work with multiple selections. Its a bit faster than right clicking though</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I've tried and tested some hopefull-keystrokes to achieve the same thing, but I've only been able to get to where you are, 'right-click mouse & press "r".

<p class="MsoNormal">Ive also observed that by taking time to 'restore defaults' only once in my file and then use the aid of "user defaults", "global parameters", "user expressions", and "define link-ing" my inputs that I can stream-line my default inputs via these short-cut methods. At least it has been working for me. The clicking exercise of restoring-defaults only once in the model process is far more bearable.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I learned a while ago that I can fly through spreadsheets and wizard/detailed edit screens restoring defaults by using my mouse to right-click a field and then using my other hand to hit the letter ‘r.’</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It occurred to me that for spreadsheet edits where I’m alternately entering new values and restoring defaults, it would be handy if there was a keystroke-only manner to do this (i.e. not using the mouse)… something like ctrl+r or some other way to bring up the cell-specific context menu… Feels kinda clunky everytime I’m in this situation…</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
