Suggested Adding Row Functionality Improvements

With a single row selected you can right clicking to bring up a menu. The menu has an option  "insert". This allows adding a row or column or shifting of the selected row or column.

However this insert option is missing when multiple rows are selected.

Our suggestion is to add the functionality of insert for when multiple rows (or columns) are selected.

Further functionality would be to also allow for options to insert rows(or columns) every n'th row ("n" being the number of rows between existing data rows inserting a new row. Ie: every 2nd row you insert a new row).
This option would require the input of a starting row (or column).

Further more the option to insert these rows while including data from another source (ie: a column on the same page or different page which would prompt to remove existing data).

Eike, what is the blocker for Insert/Delete operations with multiple selections?

There are several requests here, and we should stick to one per report.
Let's mark as duplicate of newer bug 158399 because there is a related work-in-progress patch there, and more relevant discussion.

Regarding the "insert every n row" request, that sounds quite niche to me and I doubt there will be much will to implement it, but by all means, please open a new report about just that if you think it's useful.

Inserting a row or column of copied data is tracked in bug 39936.

Thank you!
