[Solved] Arrow keys move page, not cell

Post by tangoviking »

Hi!

My wife cleaned my keyboard during a break in my Libre Office Calc work and she must have touched something in the settings unawares, because now, the arrow keys behave strange. When I press one of them, the entire page moves one notch in that direction, instead of the active cell moving one position.

It's probably a minor issue, but I found nothing about it in the Help function, so I need somebody's kind assistance to get back on track.

Thanks in advance!

Tangoviking :)

Try the NumLock key, pressing it toggles the numerical keyboard, when it's off (no light), the numerical keys work like arrows, otherwise as numbers.

Thanks for your kind suggestion, but it doesn't matter if the NumLock key is on or off, it's still the same.

Probably she depressed the scroll lock key.
