Hello everyone,
I am revisiting an old BUG.

Now, to give a usefulness to the 'CTRL'+'A' key, I return back to my
previous post: give the user 2 choices
1.) first choice: display window where user can select the number of
columns and rows
(for default values see paragraph 2.) )
2.) select everything UP TO:
- the right-most column that is NOT empty
- the bottom-most row that is NOT empty
This way, the user can make a better selection.
This idea is very too bad.The user use 'CTRL'+'A' is for fast,if you force
user selecting paste range,then it is counterproductive.
I'm looking forward to your suggestion.
Best Regards

Well, from my experience I do not believe that it is bad. Actually most times I
want to select something I would opt for 2.) and sometimes I would like to
specify the dimensions more accurately (i.e. 1).
This is at least usable. As I said, I never encountered the situation that one
wants to select everything up to 65,536 x 256 and nobody showed me an example
to the contrary.
I needed today to fill up exactly 30,000 rows. How do I do this?
Selecting manually those 30,000 rows is - well - a big pain. I tried to
select one column and paste within one column, BUT Calc crashed (this
would have created 65535 rows, but I could have worked with the first
30,000 - though it would have been a monumental waste of resources).
Again, I never encountered the situation where I need exactly 65,535
rows. But I often need an accurate amount of rows which I can specify.
How do I specify it?
Sincerely,
Leonard
As said, this is for the *PASTE* feature after a *CTRL+A* selection, so I do
NOT mind IF CTRL+A behaves the same as before. It is just after one presses
*PASTE* that this new feature should be implemented.
Sincerely,
Leonard
