Description: Calc and Excel both provide the ability to populate cell content. However, on Excel, we have the ability to populate a cell form the one of the above or the left/right using simple shortcuts like Ctrl+D or Ctrl+B. On Calc, these shortcuts haven't been defined, and the end user has to map them manually from the feature of LibreOffice dedicated to customize keyboard shortcuts. I answered to the end user who asked me this question that we can define these shortcuts manually using the shortcut personalize. https://twitter.com/LibreOfficeFR/status/1130575948804497410 I know Ctrl+B could conflict with the shortcut to add bold weight to a font, but these two shortcuts could be a welcome addition for advanced Excel users migrating to Calc. Steps to Reproduce: * Put something in A2 and B1, go to B2 * Try to populate cell content with the content of an adjacent cell with either Ctrl+D or Ctrl+B Actual Results: * Nothing happens since the keyboard shortcuts are not mapped Expected Results: * Cell populated with content Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info:

Ctrl+D already duplicates the cell from above (Fill Down), maybe it doesn't in a localized French UI. Different shortcut maybe? Or simply omitted? Or maybe Ctrl+D assigned to a different functionality in French UI? For the reason mentioned, Ctrl+B being the shortcut for Bold, I'd not assign that to Fill Left or Fill Right per default.

Shift+Ctrl+D could be assigned to Fill Right as Fill Down is done by Ctrl+D (and works for me as well). But I would rather not assign a shortcut even for Fill Down. It's IMHO a rarely used function but takes one of the precious keys. That's not only an issue for Calc but also when we aim for consistency across modules. Ctrl+D is used for Underline in Writer and I'd like to have a quick duplication (bug 100028).
(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #6) > But I would rather not assign a shortcut even for Fill Down. It's IMHO a > rarely used function I beg to differ. In OOo days Ctrl+D displayed the Selection List (a list of available cell contents in the same column), upon popular request (likely by people migrating from Excel) in LibreOffice it was changed to the Fill Down function, and Alt+Down bound to the Selection List.
Dear William Gathoye, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
