Can't expand first column by mouse, only with Shift pressing
The column cannot be expanded to the right because the next column (starting at row 12) is too small. The keyboard *moves* all the columns to the right. I think we'll have to re-qualify this of enhancement for we would have to design: - a way to *move* the whole table to the left with the mouse - a way to *expand* 1 column *only* with the keyboard For now it is only possible to: - *move* the whole table to the left with the keyboard - *expand* 1 column *only* with the mouse @MRU: do we have a duplicate for this? Do you agrre with ENHANCEMENT? I'll attach a simple document showing the problem. Created attachment 62382 [details]
A simple example
Dear ES! I seen you example, but I need to pay you attention to more difficult spreadsheets, then 2x2. My example is from real life, and one another word processor (You have guessed, yes?) have not any difficult with this column resize operation. With only left mouse keydown, yeh... Yes I understood and didn't argue there is a problem :) I just said *the way* we are going to solve this problem doesn't seem to be over a DEFECT but while qualifying it as ENHANCEMENT. Because in this case we will have to think about a way to move to the right with the mouse (means choose a key to press with the mouse button) and a shortcut on the keyboard to achieve with the keyboard what is now done with the mous. All the redesign must be thought and written down in a specification: that's an ENHANCEMENT! :) Éric, Michael, please note that you can make first column wider via right-click-Column-Width and setting desired size. Or is it the same as Shift-dragging? As far as specification needs to be created, I think we can just emulate competing word processor in this case - expand if possible and move allif expanding is not possible. Regards, Kirill. Reassigned to requirements. Desired is make the Shift-mouse move behavior default for resizing table columns with mouse. It would be the more expected behavior by the user. |
