--- Comment #2 from dg1727 <dg1...@hushmail.com> ---
mariosv,
Thanks for helping with this. Yes, there are at least 3 ways to start entering
a value into a cell:
A. Double-click the cell.
B. Move the cell cursor to the cell (either using the editing keys or a
single-click) and press F2.
C. Move the cell cursor to the cell (either using the editing keys or a
single-click) and start typing.
Only case C has the issue. Step 3 in my original description is wrong: if you
double-click the cell like I said, the issue doesn't happen. Sorry for writing
"Double-click" when I didn't actually double-click the cell.
I think my issue report is valid except for that mistake, though. AFAICT there
is nothing about case C that makes evident why it is different from cases A &
B. Also, a user who is doing a lot of cell-to-cell navigation using the
keyboard may not want to use methods A or B even if (s)he knows the difference
between them:
F2 is out of the usual touch-typing area on many keyboards, so method B may be
undesired during heavy use of the keyboard. The cursor keys are also out of
the touch-typing area, but:
(a) Tab, Shift+Tab, and Enter can be used for some navigation for case C, and
those keys are in the touch-typing area;
(b) the location of the cursor keys IMO is more standardised than of the
function keys, including on laptops (multimedia keys etc. may relocate or
shrink the function keys);
(c) sometimes there is a shelf or other object that makes it awkward for a
user to reach the function keys, but I think this is less common with the
cursor keys.
If there are users who want the existing behaviour of the editing keys in case
C, then maybe a Tools > Options > LibreOffice Calc setting can be made (in the
General > "Input settings" section?) to keep the existing method.
