--- Comment #19 from Jean-Francois Nifenecker <jean-francois.nifenecker at laposte.net> ---
It is out of my understanding why one would actually break an existing and
working functionality, just for the sake of pleasing newcomers with an Excel
background.
If the Excel users are heavily using that F4 shortcut, then learning it is a
breeze. For the ones who don't use it (often), then they'll have to refer to
the help system, which is what they would do with Excel, anyway.
Given all the pros and cons that are being exposed in this report, I think a
status quo (ie, keep the Shift-F4 shortcut for Calc absolute refs and F4 for
datasource display) is the better solution, by far.
