GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 125497
go to the last cell of a column
Last modified: 2005-06-15 16:02:19 UTC
It would be nice if we had something to go directly at the end of the column. Scrolling to find the end of a column could be irritating if you have to do this operation a lot of times. For example in the "goto cell" menu, or in the right-click menu of a column.
How would you define the "last cell of a column"? (Possible things to consider would be content, comments, formats, hyperlinks.) What about cells that contain a formula that evaluates to empty?
Hum, good question... For me, empty means no content. But perhaps you have a better idea. For me, it is mainly for data manipulation, thus content is sufficient. Perhaps something to discuss on the mailing list ?
It does sound like a very nice feature. Personally I think it should go to the cell just after the last `used' cell. In any case there is a long outstanding request like this. Marking this one as a duplicate will hopefull raise the importance of the old request.

Commenting here rather than bug 15010 as it is seems to be asking for more and for a particular implementation rather than a solution to a specific the problem. Hitting Home takes you to the right margin, couldn't End take you to the last non empty cell on the left? (and yesI would included cells that evaluate to apparently empty as containing a formula worth looking at). I was thinking that in a word processor Home takes you to the start of the line and End to takes you the end of the line and this would be logical behaviour but unfortunately it isn't what Microsoft do. In Microsoft Excel the (apprarent) behaviour is Home takes you to the top cell of the currently visible area End takes you to the bottom cell of the currently visible area Ctrl Home takes you to the very first cell of the sheet Ctrl End takes you to the last non empty cell of the sheet
Meanwhile, I realized that you can go to the last cell of a column by typing <Ctrl>-<bottom arrow>. This is exactly what I was looking for and it fits perfectly my need.
