--- Comment #21 from Eyal Rozenberg <eyalr...@gmx.com> --- Rephrased the title, hopefully clarifying it slightly (if you disapprove, feel free to change it again.) About the options mentioned in the design team discussion: > Option 1: NAB/WFM because rarely used and dangerous action First, it's the _opposite_ of dangerous. Rather, it's the default behavior - of deleting the target column - that's dangerous. Also, This is not rarely used - it's very commonly used! Two scenarios: * You open a CSV file or ODS file someone else created. You are mostly concerned with some of the columns, and want them to be closer to the beginning of the sheet, for easier browsing / filtering. So, you drag them towards the sheet start. You could drag destructively, but - deleting data is risky, so typically you avoid it, in case you'll need that information later. Or maybe you even _know_ you need it, but it's less important. * You start entering data into a sheet, with certain columns. But as you enter your data, you notice that the interesting changes happen in different columns than those you'd imagined. So, you want to reorder. About solutions: I would seriously consider replacing the default drag behavior to be non-destructive, and have users only delete columns by explicitly saying they want to. > + Option 2: one-hand mode activated by a shortcut, e.g. ctr+foo, > which makes cursor moving rows/cols > + vi'ish solution > Why not have _that_ used for destructive drag (If anything)? > > Option 3: ordinary shortcuts, but not simply ctrl+cursor rather > ctrl+alt+cursor > + ctrl+alt+cursor is used in Gnome shell for workspace Don't like this much. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
