New Google Sheets: faster, more powerful, and works offline

Re:New Google Sheets: faster, more powerful, and works offline by alexman on Wednesday December 11, 2013 @01:19PM (#6889432)

The one thing that really annoys me is that they don't have a keyboard shortcut for adding a new row. Now I always have to

1) Shift space to select the current row

2) Press the "right-click" button the keyboard

3) Press the down arrow 4 times to select "Insert 1 above"

4) Press enter

Or else I've to use the mouse, which is equally slow. It's really silly given that how often people insert rows.

This is something Apple Numbers did right. Option-Up or Down makes a new row. Bliss.

Insert row is: 1) Shift + space (highlight current row) 2) alt + I (open insert menu) 3) r (insert row above)

vs Excel which is: 1) Shift + space (highlight current row) 2) ctrl + shift + "+" (insert row above)

Slightly different key pattern, but it does exist. Difference probably exist b/c ctrl + "+" is reserved in the browser for zoom.

Thanks for the tip! That's faster than what I do. I still wish they add a dedicated shortcut for it though so that I can do it with one keystroke (like the Ctrl + Shift + "+" in Excel).
