Hello,

I have version MImo 5.1 and when I try to select multiple items in Calc, the ctrl + drag to copy the selection doesn’t work. Is it because the combination is different in Calc than in Excel?

Thank you

Configuration: Windows 7 / Chrome 53.0.2785.143

    I don't understand the question.
    At home, I do the same thing in LibreOffice Calc as in Excel, including selection with the control button held down. An update might solve your problem if you have an old version:

    LibreOffice is the best alternative to Microsoft Office. It's no wonder that LibreOffice is the default in almost all Linux distributions.

    in2words just like in four, it doesn't exist on Excel either!

      if it exists!

      select a range of cells, hold ctrl and drag to another location to paste and release. It creates a copy of the range of cells. IT DEFINITELY EXISTS!

      the ctrl + move creates a copy, whether it's a range of cells or a single one.

      It's just like everything else on windows. Copying folders, files, etc...

      On a a contiguous range of cells, yes ...
      but not for a "multiple selection", which means "non-contiguous cells" !
      I know perfectly well what I’m writing!

      With OpenOffice 4.1.1 or LibreOffice 5.1.5.2, you need to press [alt gr] ...
      This is of course a range of contiguous cells!

      I have no idea what version MImo 5.1 is...
