Hi P.Otato,

Got your email so i'm responding. :D

Selection is primarily a function of the mouse left click, which is why i left
the selection options out of the reorganization of the table context menu. We
normally left click select and then right-click for options to do to the
selection, like when we left-click select text and then right-click copy.

You can easily select a row, column or entire table in a similar way of doing
it in calc, by left clicking above the column, left clicking to the left of a
row or left clicking at the top left corner of the table. The only not-so easy
selection is selecting a cell, which requires you to select 2 cells and then
return to select a single one, which still is a left click selection option.

As it maybe difficult for users to do table selections, i added all the table
select options to the table toolbar, though only the cell and table ones are
shown by default because of size restrains.

I wouldnt be for adding the select submenu in the context menu because of the
above reasons and in order to keep the context menu size to a minimal size,
especially as some table functions (e.g. merge cells) in the context menu are
contextual and only shown when they are enabled. That doesnt mean that you cant
add them to the context menu yourself in Tools > Customize > Context Menus.

@Heiko, @Stuart, @Cor: what's your take?
