--- Comment #6 from [email protected] ---
The bahavior of Ctrl+Shift+Arrow in LibreOffice, from version 3.3 to 5, is
based on the origin of the cell range. That of OpenOffice is based on the
current cell where Ctrl+Shift+Arrow is pressed, which is more useful.

For example, if I have data in A1:A100 and I want to paste some text in cells
C1:C100, in OpenOffice I can do this by starting at C1, press Shift+Left twice
to A1 (selected A1:C1), then Ctrl+Shift+Down to A100 (select A1:C100),
Shift+Right twice back to C100. Not that I have C1:C100 selected, then I can
paste my data into C1:C100.

In LibreOffice I won't be able to do this because the extent of the cell range
is based on the starting cell.

I use this keyboard shortcut a lot and it's an important reason why I don't
switch to use LibreOffice, inspite of tons of other improvements.

I don't see any reasons why its behavior should be changed from the original
OpenOffice. Instead of changing Help to correspond to the software, I think
it's better to change the software behavior back to that of OpenOffice, and
then improve the Help.
