I need a keyboard shortcut that will set up the keyboard cursor to
mark text to copy beginning in the far left cell so that I can use the
keyboard cursor to define which cells to the right are to be copied.

Because I have arthritis in my hands I don’t use the trackpad, and if
I move the mouse to the right selecting cells it leaps too fast to
control. The only solution I have found so far is to cursor to the far
right cell I want and then mark the text (going left) with the mouse
because the left edge of the spreadsheet stops the cursor.  This is
awkward and time-consuming.

The OSX (and OO) keyboard shortcut “Command C” only marks one cell (or
pre-selected text) to copy.  The functionality I need was available in
Lotus 123.  The lack of it in Open Office is the only reason I have
not moved my larger spreadsheets to OO.

I would like the same kind of command for the keyboard cursor to mark
cells for "Command Delete" but that is less critical.

Thanks for any help, Maggie
