keyboard equivalent of dragging the little black square to generate sequence












2















What is the keyboard way of generating a sequence?



The pic below shows libre office calc. In order to generate the sequence of numbers 1 to 10. I simply enter few numbers of the sequence (in ascending order) one below the other. In this case three numbers. I select all three. And I click and drag the little black box as pointed out in the image until I reach my desired ending number.

          1. Enter the first number of the sequence

          2. Select the range to fill (SHIFT+Down)


          3. Use Alt to navigate the menu: Alt+e, i, e, Enter



            This is a shortcut for Edit->Fill->Series




          As a mnemonic, adapt the children's song "Old Macdonald," substituting IO (Input/Output) for the Enter key:




          Old Macdonald had a series of animals, (alt) E I E IO

            The keyboard equivalent to the requested function is placed under the Edit->Fill->Series command in the menu. In newer LibreOffice versions the location is Sheet->Fill Cells->Series....



            Before running the command, select the cells to be filled in by using Shift + navigation keys (Shift+Down in the case of OP).



            Then you may use mnemonics for running the command. Or even better, set a custom keyboard shortcut via Tools->Customize...->Keyboard. In the dialog, select Category = Edit, Function = Fill Series and set for example Ctrl+Enter as the shortcut.

              According to LibreOffice's Help page for Calc there is no keyboard shortcut for that.
