Spreadsheet column and row highlighting coming in #LibreOffice 24.2, our next major release! (With new "year.month" version scheme.) Enable it in Tools > Options > LibreOffice Calc > View. Thanks to Sahil Gautam from our community for implementing this feature 😊 #foss #opensource

LibreOffice reshared this.

It has never been a feature I missed, as the column and row headings are highlighted nonetheless. But it may be of help to beginners.

Oh wow I need this so bad. Can't wait for the update.

@failedLyndonLaRouchite Hi! You can submit enhancement requests here: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org – Of course, we're a volunteer-driven project with limited resources, so if you can help us, even better 😊

Nice, but when will smooth scrolling be finally implemented? Waiting for this for decades… Jumpy scrolling by rows is so distracting!
in reply to 3mind

@3mind There's an enhancement request but nobody has stepped up to work on it (yet). LibreOffice is a volunteer-driven, community open source project with very limited resources. It can only happen if people get involved and help the volunteers to implement it, or fund developers 😊

I know that's not the most satisfying answer, but the LibreOffice community gets huge numbers of requests to implement things, and very few people actually volunteer to help out or fund developers...

@schroedingershund @3mind Yes, it is something we consider quite often! They can be very complex and time-consuming to run, as you mentioned, but maybe we can set up something manageable one day...
