--- Comment #5 from ady <[email protected]> --- The reason I mentioned Excel is not for comparison, but for ease of use across _multiple_ spreadsheet tools, for decades. Calc > menu Tools > Options > Calc > General > (Input Settings) "Press Enter to move selection" sets the direction for the [ENTER] key. Usually, combining it with [SHIFT] moves the focus to the opposite direction; and a similar case is for [TAB]. Maybe this is the reason for the problem of customizing [SHIFT]+[ENTER] for some other command; IDK. At any rate, without explicitly using F2, the default case is "move the focus to the opposite direction of [ENTER] (whether you are typing-in a value or not), which is expected for most use cases – spreadsheets are mostly aimed at numeric values, after all. This is why, for at least the first break line within the same cell in Calc, you need to use [CTRL]+[ENTER], and you don't need F2 for the most part. BTW, there are currently bugs regarding "Wrap text" that are triggered by the usage of [CTRL]+[ENTER], but that's another matter. Spreadsheets are not web browsers, nor email managers, word processors... The request _could_ be, perhaps, to allow the usage of [SHIFT]+[ENTER] and [SHIFT]+[TAB] as customized keyboard shortcuts, without changing the current defaults at all. My POV regarding that is, that there are already too many common keyboard shortcuts that do not work as expected (for years) and allowing these 2 special customizations might add more issues than it is worth. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
