Customizing the Enter key
You can customize the direction in which the Enter key moves the cell focus by going to Tools >
Options > LibreOffice Calc > General. Select the direction cell focus moves from the drop-down
list. Depending on the file being used or the type of data being entered, setting a different direction
can be useful. The Enter key can also be used to switch into and out of editing mode. Use the first
two options under Input settings in Figure 102 to change the Enter key settings.
