Description Benoît Thébaudeau 2017-05-21 17:11:55 UTC
Description:
The Ctrl+Home shortcut currently moves the cursor to the first cell in the sheet (A1). However, if some rows or columns are frozen to be used as headers, this behavior is not intuitive. One would rather expect the cursor to be moved to the beginning of the active area, i.e. to the first non-frozen cell, which is what Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets do.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new spreadsheet.
2. Freeze the first row and column.
3. Press Ctrl+Home.

Actual Results:  
The cursor is moved to A1.

Expected Results:
The cursor should be moved to B2.


Reproducible: Always
