--- Comment #9 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
The topic was on the agenda of the design meeting but didn't receive further
input.

My take: Alt+Delete is assigned to "Delete Columns" in Writer, and either we 
do the same for Calc or remove it in Writer. But if we add the shortcut we
should first of all consider to assign something to "Delete rows", maybe
Shift+Alt+Delete.

Adding shortcuts should always be considered very carefully because a) a
combination is occupied and cannot be used for other functions, and b) removing
a shortcut is much more annoying for users who are familiar with it.

>From the META ticket I found bug 136670 requesting ctrl + minus to remove a
row/column.

We should check how it works in other applications and decided then.
