Thanks. That works, minus the simple repeat. I actually used the command 'xdotool selectwindow key --clearmodifiers F2 Home Delete Enter'. Clicking the correct window does not change focus so I can repeat on the xterm with up-enter. When the next lower cell is not appropriate, I can change the selected cell in LO before repeating. I suppose I could put it in a loop of some kind but not worth it for now. I still think LO itself should provide some simple way to do this. -- Dave Close, Compata, Irvine CA "If I seem unduly clear to you, d...@compata.com, +1 714 434 7359 you must have misunderstood dhcl...@alumni.caltech.edu what I said." -- Alan Greenspan -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
