Sure, I could; I even have the command included in a custom toolbar. But that's not the only reason for the request. With that reasoning, we could get rid of any menu item that has (or could have) a keyboard shortcut. The command is not included in _any_ menu, and it is not included in any toolbar (AFAICR). We have [CTRL]+[*] (also from the numeric keypad only) and other "selections" available under the "Select" menu item. IDK why would this specific item would be any different, or less relevant than those. Being able to "easily" select an entire array (so as to avoid the "You cannot change only part of an array" info message) and also not more than the relevant area, is a key step in most actions regarding array formulas. Discover-ability, and ease of use (in particular if the keyboard does not include a numeric keypad) are important factors of this request. How many newbies have a clear understanding of array formulas, and are already aware of the default keyboard shortcut, and have a numeric keypad available? My guess is that many users don't even know that the keyboard shortcut (or the command itself) exists. IMHO, it would be easier for users to climb / move through the knowledge curve of array formulas if the "Select Array Formula" item would be present under the "Edit > Select" menu in Calc. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
