--- Comment #4 from freew...@poczta.fm ---
Thank you for quick response.

I must add one thing. In Tools>Options>Libreoffice Calc>General there is this
weird option called "Press Enter to switch to edit mode".

First time I saw it I've incorrectly assumed that if this options is checked
then pressing enter is REQUIRED to switch to edit mode, not just optional.

Why? Because it is both redundant and inconsistent.
Firstly I can hit F2 to do the same thing, and secondly, why is this option
even there, and NOT a part of Tools>Customize settings.

Thus me longing for an option to actually make it a requirement to hit enter
(or any other custom key) to begin editing cell content.

And about that other part of my rant concerning accidental drag and drop
cell/area. If you ask me, MOVING cell/areas by mouse should be disabled by
default entirely. Same with grabbing the bottom right corner to replicate.
There should be separate options to restrict such operations using a mouse,
touchpad, stylus etc. Spreadsheet is NOT a drawing program, isn't it?

The other bug/feature where you can cancel data validation by just copying over
another cell is another rich idea. IMO there should be MORE effort needed to do
that, not the other way around, where CTRL+V as it is now copies EVERYTHING.

In general IMO data entry in a spreadsheet should be rethinked and redesignd
altogether with most focus put on NOT helping the (inexperienced) user to
modify or destroy existing data.

Hey, but that's just me.
Cheers.
