Your mission companions

Keycat and Mauchu

Tap a key. Click a mouse.
These two are by your side, each with their own special skills.

Keyboard practice helper

Keycat

From “key” + “cat”

"You'll be able to do it with just a keyboard. Try it with me."

A softly rounded cat shaped like a keycap. Keycat helps you learn to work with the keyboard, offers hints when you get stuck, and celebrates your progress.

Each Keycat carries a key name on its back: Ctrl, Shift, Alt and more. Choose “See which keys to press” during a mission to meet the cats carrying the keys you need next.

A friendly advocate for the mouse

Mauchu

From “mouse” + “chu,” a mouse’s squeak in Japanese

“Hey, the mouse is handy. Go on, give it a click.”

A little mouse with round ears and tiny front teeth, shaped like a computer mouse. Mauchu has a scroll wheel on his head and a USB cable for a tail. He drops by to whisper how convenient a mouse can be.

These simulation exercises use only the keyboard. Click the sheet and Mauchu sighs: “You can’t use me here.” It is tempting to ask him for help, but today, try the keyboard with Keycat.

Guide to automating work with macros

Macrow

Excel "macro" + owl

"Hoo, isn't that the exact same procedure as last month? If the steps are always the same, I'll remember them for you. Hoo."

A wise owl with a play button on its belly. When it spots a task you repeat the same way every time, it shows you how to turn it into a macro.

In the Macro & VBA practice, you automate invoice creation and totals across several files together with Keycat and Mauchu.

Their keys tell you who they are.

Use one key or combine several. Learn each shortcut and add to the things you can do.

Meet them in the missions.
