Description aexl 2003-09-05 13:46:07 UTC 
In the Writer Component, a line is moved up/down with the shortcuts ctrl-up/down
(windows).
This should work too in spreadsheets and in textdocument-tables.

(Even after hundreds of times my brain tries this again and again... ;-)

Hi,

it's simply not possible as this key combination is used to jump to
the top/bottom of the used cell range.

Nevertheless I assign it to Bettina for further investigations.

To clarify, there are two points:

- As a sort of "Calc Power User" i simply miss the feature of moving
rows quickly up and down.

- My Sense of Intuitivity is irritated when a Shortcut that works in
writer does not do the same thing in Calc.

I suppose i could be happy :-) with a 10 line starbasic script
(insert/move/delete) which i wire to the keys myself. Can anyone help
(especially with the move part)?
(Didn´t find anything like this in scripting.)
Comment 3 aexl 2003-09-27 12:07:58 UTC 
i have to correct myself:
in 1.1 the keyboardd shortcut is ctrl-alt-up and ctrl-alt-down.
Comment 4 aexl 2003-09-27 12:09:24 UTC 
of course in a table the keys ctrl-alt-left" and ctrl-alt-right would
also make sense!

#19932 seems to be a dup.

aspsaegesser's beautiful description:

Once upon a time there was a guy with Microsoft. Whether still alive
or not, I 
don't know. But he really did have a good idea (which is extremely
uncommon to 
happen).
In Word, if you have managed to insert a table (not an Excel, just a
native one)
, you can place the cursor anywhere in the table, press
SHIFT-ALT-UP/DOWN and 
the line you're in moves up or down.
That's an awfully handy feature, helping to reorder a table in as good
as no 
time. Perhaps such a goody is already hidden somewhere in OOO. I could
not 
figure it out, though.
(You may have noticed that I mentioned just one good thing of Word and
did not 
enumerate all the bad ones, which would lead to an Internet-crash... :-).

Greetings
Walter

Rejected, because this feature would collidate with accessibility.
Comment 7 bettina.haberer 2003-12-04 17:37:22 UTC 
.
Comment 8 aexl 2003-12-04 19:29:24 UTC 
Bettina, could you briefly describe the collision?
I dont get the point.
