--- Comment #13 from László Németh <nemeth at numbertext.org> ---
Comparative analysis and suggestions 

In MSO Word,

1. Cut always cuts the selected column, not only its text content.

2. Rows have a text-only and a full selection with different Cut operations:

2.A Selection by mouse clicking in front of the row or in front of the text of
the first cell result "full" selection, where Cut cuts the complete table rows.
After that, Paste in the first table column results insertion of the table rows
over the actual row.

2.B Selection by mouse or text cursor movement results text-only row selection,
where Cut cuts only the text content, leaving empty cells. After that, Paste
results overwriting of the actual cell content.

Possible LO extensions

- Support MSO's full row selection mode (2.A), keeping also the recent behavior
(2.B).

- LibreOffice has already had a quick row/column insertion mode and deletion
mode (Alt-Delete). I suggest a similar quick row/column selection by extending
Ctrl-A mode with a row & column selection states or using similar
Ctrl-Shift-arrow selection as in Calc (that could work after a Ctrl-A in cells
with multiword cell content). See
