Bug ID: 420076
Summary: No Keyboard support for entering formula
Product: calligrasheets
Version: 3.1.0
Platform: unspecified
OS: All
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: usability
Assignee: calligra-sheets-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: mathias_t...@mathiasfoehr.lu
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Other spreadsheet programs permit to type an equal sign and then to use Arrow
Keys, Crt + Arrow, ... to move out of the cell catching the reference of the
cell to be referred to.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
You can test this on libreoffice or on Excel. When in a cell, type = and Arrow
right.
OBSERVED RESULT
CalligraSheets outputs a #Parse! error value.
EXPECTED RESULT
Other spreadsheet programs permit to type an equal sign and then to use Arrow
Keys, Crt + Arrow, ... to move out of the cell catching the cell to be referred
to. It is also possible to type (as an example) =, to click in another cell and
then to correct the cell referred to with arrow keys from the keyboard.
Important: the function key F2 is a toggle that permits to switch between this
curious editing via cell "selection" on the keyboard and cell editing (e.g.
changing a + in a - in a formula)
It is also possible to type (as an example) =, to click in another cell and
then to correct the cell referred to with arrow keys from the keyboard.
And using Shift to extend a selection does also work in formula (e.g. in
=sum(A3:A6) )
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
I have experienced this on Debian Linux, but I suppose the functionnality is
missing everywhere.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have tried Calligra today for the first time, and the user interface is
extremely clean. I can well imagine to use Calligra in the future. But not
being able to record a formula via the keyboard is a showstopper for a
professional spreadsheetuser. This works since Lotus 123 on Dos on any
spreadsheet ;)
Fixing this should be a minor problem; if you want my feed-back on this
functionnality, it will be a pleasure.
Kind regards and keep on the good work
Mathias
