    Ctrl - (minus)
    Once the pop-up comes along 'u' -- Enter

    Easier:
    1. highlight the desired cells and right click on them.
    2. Click "D", then click "u"
    3. Click enter

    These 5 steps you've mentioned are the opposite of "easier".

    You don't need the popup menu after ctrl - if you select the entire row by clicking on the row number rather than on the cells themselves. E.g don't select cells A3-Z3, select row 3 then press ctrl -.
