For Excel 2016 for the Mac: Under the new Mac OS (Catalina) toggling absolute and relative references is now Command-T, not F4. And you need to put your cursor in the formula line; you can't simply select the cell.

In a PC you can use Alt+Tab to move between all programs open, including several Excel books. I don't know if it works for Mac, sorry
