I have three sheets, they have columns A&B, ranges A2:A100, B2:B100. "A" range will always be shorter than B, if that means something. I need vba code to move my selector to First free cell in sheet1 "A"range, another code for "B"range, then another codes for Sheet2...Sheet3.
Thanks in advance kind people!

Who is Mr Spreadsheet?
Author John Walkenbach was Mr Spreadsheet until his retirement in June 2019.
What is:"move my selector"

So you mean your active cell?

And we only have one active cell per sheet.
So we cannot have a active cell in column "A" and "B"

I do not understand the term "selector"

To select the last used cell in Column "A" use this:


Code:
Sub Select_Last_Used_Cell()
Dim Lastrow As Long
Lastrow = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Cells(Lastrow, "A").Select
End Sub

I know this does not exactly answer what you Title question asked for.
Most times people want the last used cell not the first empty cell.

Code:
Public Sub SelectFirstBlankCell()
    Dim sourceCol As Integer, rowCount As Integer, currentRow As Integer
    Dim currentRowValue As String

    sourceCol = 6   'column F has a value of 6
    rowCount = Cells(Rows.Count, sourceCol).End(xlUp).Row

    'for every row, find the first blank cell and select it
    For currentRow = 1 To rowCount
        currentRowValue = Cells(currentRow, sourceCol).Value
        If IsEmpty(currentRowValue) Or currentRowValue = "" Then
            Cells(currentRow, sourceCol).Select
            Exit For 'This is missing...
        End If
    Next
End Sub
This code is from StackOverFlow answered by RedLeo

How to restrict this code to ThisWorkbook, because, i'll have more wbooks opened? Reason for this code, i need shortcuts to click and then they put me in first free cell.
Per sheet, i need 2 shortcuts(objects, or activeX), one to scroll "A", second for "B". Thanks in advance kind people!

I would think its best to tell us in total what your wanting to do. Showing us a script you found and wanting us to understand it and then modify it to meet your needs is not something I like doing.

Try this;

Code:
Sub upArrow()


Dim foundBlank As Range
Set foundBlank = Range("A:A").Find(What:="", lookat:=xlWhole)
    foundBlank.Select


End Sub


Sub downArrow()


Dim foundBlank As Range
Set foundBlank = Range("G:G").Find(What:="", lookat:=xlWhole)
    foundBlank.Select


End Sub

Try these two scripts:

Code:
Sub First_Empty_Cell_Column_A()
'A7:A77
'For Up Arrow
Dim c As Range
    For Each c In Range("A7:A77")
    If c.Value = "" Then c.Select: Exit Sub
    Next
End Sub

Sub First_Empty_Cell_Column_G()
'G7:G77
'For Down Arrow
Dim c As Range
    For Each c In Range("G7:G77")
    If c.Value = "" Then c.Select: Exit Sub
    Next
End Sub

With a slight modification to SvenDiamonds code....might be quicker than a loop

Code:
Sub upArrow()
Dim foundBlank As Range
Set foundBlank = Range("A7:A77, G7:G77").Find(What:="", lookat:=xlWhole)
    foundBlank.Select
End Sub
