Description Buovjaga 2019-02-16 09:48:54 UTC 
Would be nice, if .uno:GoToCell behaved like moving with arrow keys in Extended or Adding selection modes.
In Extended, it would extend the selection.
In Adding, it would not lose the existing selection (and only move the focus rectangle to the target cell).

With this functionality, a perfect workaround macro for bug 123490 could be created.

Example of a simple GoToCell macro:

sub GoingToCell
dim document   as object
dim dispatcher as object
document   = ThisComponent.CurrentController.Frame
dispatcher = createUnoService("com.sun.star.frame.DispatchHelper")
dim args1(0) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
args1(0).Name = "ToPoint"
args1(0).Value = "$F$17"
dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:GoToCell", "", 0, args1())
end sub

Now I realised a perfect macro solution is Shift-down-arrow + Shift-up-arrow!
