No single keystroke to find out the current Excel worksheet #6613

Description

@Qchristensen

There is no single command which tells you which worksheet you are on in Excel without performing an action.

Object navigation can be used: NVDA+numpad 8 / NVDA+shift+up arrow jumps immediately to the sheet and tells you, however for those not overly familiar with object navigation, pressing it again jumps to the parent of the worksheet (Excel itself) which could be confusing.

The elements list will also tell you, although it defaults to charts, so you need to press NVDA+f7, then alt+s.

Alternatively there are seveal commands which perform actions which can be used, control+page up then control+page down, as long as the worksheet isn't the first one.

Similarly alt+tab to another application and back.

Knowing which worksheet you are on is important, but is it worth adding a new keystroke to give extra context information? Possibly such information could be useful in other programs, such as knowing which section and page you are on in Onenote.
