Please clarify selection modes in Libreoffice Calc
Please clarify selection modes in Libreoffice Calc
There are 4 selection modes in Calc: standard, extended, adding and block. I assume that the logic for each is the same as for selection mode in Writer. I have two questions about them:
How is block selection different from standard selection mode? I see no difference.
All of the selection modes seem to apply to cells but it appears that only the standard selection mode applies to text (within a cell). Is that correct?
Thank you.

In Writer, Block selection mode allows one to define and select a vertical block of text.

Yes, but this is Calc. I want to understand what it does in Calc. Could it have been a mistake to include it and no one noticed?

Look up "Selection modes in spreadsheets" in the Help file. It seems that it doesn't do anything special.

Re: Please clarify selection modes in Libreoffice Calc
In the question, I did not clearly specify what I was talking about. I was referring to the four selection modes that appear when you right click on the selection field in the Task bar.

Sorry then I not understood your question, Which Taskbar and selection feature you meant?I was referring to the four selection modes that appear when you right click on the selection field in the Task bar.
Did you meant the Windows Taskbar, or a Toolbar of the AOO/LO?
Please upload a screenshot about the feature.

Re: Please clarify selection modes in Libreoffice Calc
In AOO Calc there are 3 options which toggle by left click. F8 toggles between standard and expand. Shift+F8 toggles between standard and addition.
I never use these features because I prefer the usual keyboard navigation with Shift and Ctrl or mouse selection with Shift and Ctrl. They work with many different applications in similar ways.

Re: Please clarify selection modes in Libreoffice Calc
Oops. Sorry about that. I meant the LO Status bar, not Task bar. I would have included a screenshot but I can't get the latest version of the Snipping Tool to take a screenshot of a context menu, even with a delay.Zizi64 wrote:Sorry then I not understood your question, Which Taskbar and selection feature you meant?I was referring to the four selection modes that appear when you right click on the selection field in the Task bar.

Anyway, one of the responses in the linked Ask.LibreOffice post says that this issue is a bug and a bug report has been filed.
