Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 60624
D&d-shortcut to paste cells without overwriting others
Last modified: 2006-03-07 09:46:41 UTC
In order to move rows/cells/comuns, it would be very convenient to have the possibility to drop them somewhere without them overwriting other cells, but creating new cells/coluns/rows instead. For example: Row 1 Row 2 Row 3 Row 4 Select row 2 and drop it on row 4. Row 4 will be overwritten. Instead one should be able to press some shortcut, e.g. ALT in order to get the following: Row 1 Row 3 Row 2 Row 4 It is worth discussing, whether it might be better to get the following when just pressing ALT: Row 1 <empty> Row 3 Row 2 Row 4 So one would have to press ALT+CTRL to copy and create a new line for the drop, or ALT+SHIFT to move, i.e. leave no empty space and create a new line for the drop. This is very helpful when re-arranging tables, as it skips two clicks per action, i.e. right-click on row, add new line.
this is basically a duplicate to issue 60079 *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 60079 ***
Are you kidding? This bug was filed for spreadsheet not database. I did not even mention that term. Please mark it as dup of issue 14007, if at all, since this issue here asks for d&d by clicking on the row-numbers rather than cells.
