When entering formulas, such as =sum(A1:A5), I find it much safer to type =sum() and then to back-arrow between the parenthesis to fill in the parameters. Anyone who programs in mid- to high- level languages will find this natural. However, in OOo pressing the arrow keys begins the cell selection rectangle. I know that I could reconfigure the arrow keys, but I would rather leave them as is because in other contexts the default arrow key behaviour is intuitive.
How can one configure the arrow keys to move within the currently edited cell, yet leave their behaviour intact in all other instances? I have found a workaround by editing formulas in the bar at the top (how do you call this?). However, this requires the use of the mouse and slows work.

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
