[Solved] Navitate to space between words in Calc

[fred6633]

Hello,
OS X 10.6.4 and OpenOffice 3.2.1.

ALT + > and Alt + < in Calc don't take the cursor to next or previous space between words like it does in all other applications including Writer. Instead they resize the cell.

How do I fix this?

Thanks

Fred

Do you stored long sentences with many spaces in cells? Or you want to jump to next cell?

Try the "Customize toolbar/menu/keyboard" option.
In Writer I find the "to word left" and "to word right" functions in navigate category. I can assign it to a Shortcut key.

Do not find them in Calc in same category.

But when I edit a long text in a cell, the function works for me by CTRL-Left, CTRL-Right shortcut keys (under Windows).

cmd+arrow should do what you want. Works in other applications, including Writer.

Many of the "ctrl" shortcuts from other platforms use the command key in the Mac version.

Thanks! that worked in Calc.

In Writer, Cmd + arrows take me to the end or beginning of the line. In Writer, Text Editor and all applications I've tested with, Alt + arrows take me to next or previous space.
I have the wireless keyboard. Maybe that's different.

I think it depends on setting of shortcut keys (see in my previous post - pictures)

My settings are the same as yours; Cmd + arrows are supposed to take me to right or left of words.

But in practise, they instead, as I wrote, take me to beginning or end of line.

I think it's an universsal setting in Mac for the wireless keyboard which takes over.

As I said, in Text Editor and all applications I've tested, except Calc, At + arrows take me to nearest space.
