Description Mihkel Tõnnov 2012-06-25 11:25:31 UTC
The following paragraphs in Help are outdated:


Displays the current selection mode. You can switch between STD = Standard, EXT = Extend, ADD = Add, BLK = Block selection.
Each click in the field cycles through the available options:
Display   Mode   Effect 
STD   Standard mode   Click in text where you want to position the cursor; click in a cell to make it the active cell. Any other selection is then deselected.
EXT   Extension mode (F8)   Clicking in the text extends or crops the current selection.
ADD   Additional selection mode (Shift+F8)   A new selection is added to an existing selection. The result is a multiple selection.
BLK   Block selection mode (Ctrl+Shift+F8)   A block of text can be selected.


The thing described no longer exists like that: it is replaced by an icon. Clicking no longer cycles, but opens a pop-up menu to select the desired selection mode.
