Bug ID: 166333
Summary: Not possible to set/use SHIFT+Enter (or another
shortcut) to insert break line inside the cell
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
A lot of software use the SHIFT+ENTER shortcut to insert a line break which
brings you to next line (e. g. Firefox, Thunderbird, MS Word...). This can be
also set in writer using Customize Keyboard using "Insert Manual Row Break"
function. But for some reason this is not possible to do in sCalc, which uses a
hard command "go to upper cell" (means moving 1 cell up).
This is behavior of LO sCalc forces to remember the specific shortcut
CTRL+ENTER in sCalc especially, which is almost impossible, since man works
automatically and subconsciously. As I said, all the software I work with uses
SHIFT+ENTER to scroll down a line, even in Writer I can set it up. Only sCalc
can't. I'm talking about the case where I'm editing a cell directly through F2
(i.e. I'm inside the cell). The strangest thing is that if I edit the cell via
the Input line, the SHIFT+ENTER works in the same way as CTRL+ENTER.
LibreOffice is great in that it can be customized, so I guess this is some kind
of bug.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try SHIFT+ENTER inside the cell (F2).
2. Try SHIFT+ENTER in the input line.
3. Try to set keyboard shortcut for SHIFT+ENTER ("Insert row break")
Actual Results:
1. Moving 1 cell up
2. Inserting line break
3. Setting a keyboard shortcut for SHIFT+ENTER ("Insert row break") does
nothing.
Expected Results:
We should be able to set a working "Insert row break" shortcut to SHIFT+ENTER
for the purpose of editing a cell (F2) to act the same way as in the Input line
(and other SW).
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
I tried to set the "Insert row break" function for another free shortcuts, but
without success. It seems the editing of the cell is protected from using
user-defined shortcuts. As mentioned, it is confusing that SHIFT+ENTER acts as
CTRL+ENTER in the input line.
