<pre>In LibreOffice Calc (and in MS Access) you can press Ctrl-' (control tick) to
quickly copy the field above into the current cell.
This can be simulated as described here:
<a href="https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=83531&p=415865#p415865">https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=83531&p=415865#p415865</a>
, ...well, almost. ;-)
All controls work properly with Ctrl-tick except list boxes. List boxes seem
to swallow up keystrokes that have a control key modifier and never report a
keystroke event, either up or down.
Alt key modifiers work as expected in all controls.
The reason this is important is to try and maintain uniformity with Calc and
Access which both use Ctrl-tick for this feature. The author's Alt-Tick
workaround, works, but makes Base non-standard.
I think this should be relatively easily fixed. The hope is that this utility
can someday be merged into Base and no longer be an add on. But first it has
to work the way users expect.
At the link above, you'll find my re-write of the code if you want to test this
at the bottom, submitted today, which should allow you to easily patch in the
Ctrl key modifier to test this yourself.
Thanks guys!</pre>
