Description:
Add a capability that will allow selection of any column for viewing its data while scrolling up/down instead of the row number. For example, right click on the scroll area or any component used in scrolling and select a column to view. Could also be setup through a "scroll" selection in the View pulldown. 

Actual Results:
Can only see row number now

Expected Results:
Would like to be able to select any column for viewing


Reproducible: Always

Please describe in more detail:

1. How do you arrive in a situation where you only see the row number, but not the column identifier
2. What you mean by selection of any column for viewing

1. On the vertical scroll bar, click on the thumb and drag up or down and the row number will be displayed in a box adjacent to the thumb. Instead of the row number , I would like to see the content of a preselected column at that row number. 
For example: 
    A       B      C
11         dog
12         cat
13         bird
14         mouse

Now when dragging the thumb up/down I will see row # 11, 12, 13, 14 in the box adjacent to the thumb. I would like to be able to see the data in col B when dragging the thumb. When thumb at row 11 the box showed 11, would like to be able to show "dog", at row 12 show "cat" ...

This requires that somewhere there needs to be a capability in calc to switch from the displaying the row number to displaying the content of the user selected column at that row number
