[Libreoffice-bugs] [Bug 122858] Selecting multiple cells, then typing, affects just one cell

So, to sum up: such feature would conflict with another workflow, where one selects cells, starts typing in a cell, and then moves to the next cell within the selected ones. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

There's no visual hint, nor even a text entry in context menu. It's just some arbitrary hotkey which is not even easy to find (I haven't found back when I worked with Calc). I am not suggesting to remove the Alt+Enter feature, but adding a more intuitive way as an alternative surely won't hurt. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

E.g. query to google "libreoffice calc enter text to multiple columns"¹ gives nothing relevant. On the other hand, what I suggest here is an intuitive design decision, and would not require searching at all. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
