> Description:
> It would be good to be able to insert several non-contiguous columns at once.
> It is currently not possible, what is the specific reason for this?
> 
> Steps to Reproduce:
> 1. Create a spreadsheet with columns A, B, C, D. Populate a few rows of each
> of those columns (see attachment).
> 2. Objective: insert blank columns in B and D, in one step.
> 3. Select columns B and C
> 4. Go to Sheet -> Insert Columns
> 
> Actual Results:
> The options are greyed out; It is not possible to insert columns when more
> than one column is selected.
> 
> Expected Results:
> Blank columns are inserted at B and C, therefore now I have columns A, B, C,
> D, E, F, where B and D are empty.
> 
> I am not sure why this option is not available... I guess it might be

> changes its location because another one was inserted before, then how to

I forgot one thing (although it is obvious, it helps make the case): the only
current way of doing what I intended is to insert the columns one by one. When
you have to insert several dozens this becomes cumbersome...
