--- Comment #2 from Scito <info at scito.ch> ---
I agree that this multi selection would be good, but I would expect a different
result.

Steps to Reproduce:
- Open a new Calc document
- Enter anything in different cells over different rows and columns, e.g.:
        A1: 1
        B2: 2
        C3: 3
- While holding the Ctrl-key, select those three cells
- Press Ctrl+C

Select cell A7 and insert it. Result should be:
        A7: 1
        A8: 2
        A9: 3

Rationale: Relative distance of selection (gaps) is not considered in current
versions of Calc, e.g. 7.1.1.2:

Steps for illustration:
1. Open a new Calc document
2. Enter
    A1: 1
    C1: 2
    E1: 3
3. Select A1
4. Press Ctrl and select C1 and E1
5. Go to cell A3
6. Paste by Ctrl-V

Actual (and expected) result:
A3: 1
B3: 2
C3: 3
The gaps are not there anymore. Only the selected cells are pasted.

I think having gaps in the pasted result is another issue. I think such a
behavior is possible, but it should have different commands, menu entries, and
shortcuts. It has to be done the same way for all different kinds of
selections. So, I propose that another issue is created for the gap behavior.
