I'm not complaining here about the "single" range selection; I'm ignoring
whether we can Click-Select or not. In Impress, using the mouse, I can click,
hold, and drag - to select a range of cells. And using the keyboard, I can
press Shift, hold, and move the cursor to some othert cell. That's enough
selection ability to move forward and discuss adding to the selection.

Thus - not a dupe 142543, which requests the ability to Click, then Shift, then
Select in Impress.

Ok, well, I'm asking to be able to do that in Impress.

I will read through bug 121076 which is related.

It would follow not just calc, but all apps everywhere, including file managers
and the like. Shift expands the rectangle, Ctrl adds a new rectangular range.
