Just to make sure I understand this, you're proposing a third behavior where
the selection stops when ANY of the cells on the front of the selection range
collide with a empty/non-empty cell? Basically, it perform a select to block
margin on each cell in your currently selected range and stop at the first
collision?
For instance, if we have a selection of A1:C1, and we press ctrl+shift+down,
you want it to stop when we encounter ANY change in columns A, B, or C?
In certain situations, that behavior would make things MUCH less efficient than
even the non-legacy mode. For instance, if you had lots of randomly populated
columns, it would render ctrl+shift+arrow entirely useless.
I don't have any way to test this under MS Excel, but is this behavior really
the new standard? I see no use for this behavior unless it already is an
established standard and is implemented as another option for compatibility.
Even if that is the case, it would still be an enhancement request. I will
mark it as such.
Whatever is decided, please do not modify the newly implemented "Use legacy
cursor movement behavior when selecting." I understand it will no longer be
checked by default starting in 4.3, but that's fine as long as it's easy to
enable. I still see it as the only useful selection mode available.
