You always start from the presupost of using a mouse! I don't like to use
a mouse this normally is much slower then using the keyboard!

Anyway you NEED to show the user which cell he's in actually so you need to
show the cursor ALSO if we're in a dummy position! Otherwise we just could
select the cell if we're in a dummy position (instead of showing the cursor)
if that is a better aproach, but then the user doesn't see where he's actually
when selecting a range of cells, so IMO we still need to show the cursor too!
(maybe we could just change the look of the cursor in a dummy position)
