Hi,
I've reported bug 89463 - this is about "legacy cursor movement behavior when selecting". I accept explanation of Mr. Kohei Yoshida that this is  an intentional change.
I in general expect "legacy cursor movement", but after some test cases I've found that some time a new behaviour is needed.

Conclusion: I suggest to add possibility to define keyboard shortcut which allows to change "new" to "legacy" without calling menu tools/options/calc/general.

Regards 
Mirek

Yet another obscure keyboard shortcut, which has to be assigned so that it doesn’t conflict in any locale, cannot be easily remembered, could be pressed by accident by users, and will be definitely helpful as that is a setting you need to toggle all the time, like Bold and Italic?

Sorry, that is just not the right approach. Is Tools > Options so hard to open?

clarifying summary.
IMO justified to keep as WontFix.
