I added my add-in to Excel. Used "XML" to call from inside keytip="BP" and ******="ChooseTab". Running "MyExcelAddin.xlam" - It's WORK!
But! The fact is that after I go to the developer tab > Excel add-Ins = there I choose my add-in... When i open the add-in or any other Book, and boom doesn't WORK already! WTF I did not understand!?
Anyways does not work after setting the tick! ✅

Found on one portal StackOverflow, need to use "OnTime" instead of "Wait" or "Sleep". Seems like "Ontime" was not blocking the custom Ribbons from loading.
But I couldn't find the right code.

XML:

HTML:
<!--?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?--><customui xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2009/07/customui" on Load="ChooseTab">
    <ribbon startfromscratch="false">
        <tabs>
            <tab id="mytab_1" label="My Macros" keytip="BP">
                <group id="Sheets" label="Листы">
                    <button
                        idMso="About"
                        label="Show About"
                        screentip="Bla bla bla"/>
            </button
</group></tab>
        </tabs>
    </ribbon>
</customui>

VBA:

Code:
 ' (component: customUI, atribut: ******), 2010
Sub [B][COLOR=#2F4F4F]ChooseTab[/COLOR][/B](ribbon As IRibbonUI)
    SendKeys "%BP{F6}"
End Sub

P.S. :
"Office 2019"
"Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB"

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
!! Also if you have «Microsoft Office 365 2019» this code works well:

Sub RibbonTab_******(ribbon As IRibbonUI)<code style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-family: Consolas, Menlo, Monaco, "Lucida Console", "Liberation Mono", "DejaVu Sans Mono", "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono", "Courier New", monospace, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; box-sizing: inherit; white-space: inherit;"> ribbon.ActivateTabMso "TabFormulas"
End Sub</code>

Another similar code:

<code style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-family: Consolas, Menlo, Monaco, "Lucida Console", "Liberation Mono", "DejaVu Sans Mono", "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono", "Courier New", monospace, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; box-sizing: inherit; white-space: inherit;">Sub SubOpenMyTab(ribbon As IRibbonUI) 'Starts during `Sheet` loading (event occurs after AutoOpen and everything else).
Set myRibbon = ribbon 'Remember the link to the Ribbon.
myRibbon
.ActivateTab ("Tab1") 'Write here the ID of the tab (which is written in XML).
' myRibbon.ActivateTab ("TabDeveloper") 'This is to open the built-in tab.
End Sub</code>
