The Office Add-ins platform team has new updates to share this month on Office Add-ins Patterns and Practices. PnP is a community effort, so if you are interested in contributing, see our good first issue list.
(Preview) Use keyboard shortcuts for Office add-in actions
This sample shows how to set up a basic Excel add-in project that utilizes keyboard shortcuts. Currently, the shortcuts are configured to show and hide the task pane as well as cycle through colors for a selected cell. Keyboard shortcuts can be used to achieve any action within the add-in runtime.

About Office Add-ins Patterns & Practices (PnP)
Office Add-ins PnP is a Microsoft-led, community driven effort that helps developers extend, build, and provision customizations on the Office platform the right way by providing guidance and help through official documentation and open source initiatives. The source is maintained in GitHub where anyone can participate. You can provide contributions to the samples, reusable components, and documentation. Office Add-ins PnP is owned and coordinated by Office engineering teams, but the work is done by the community for the community.
You can find code samples for Office Add-in development in the Office Add-ins PnP repo. Some samples are also documented in the Office Add-ins docs, such as Batching custom function calls for a remote service.
