The project aims to become a drop in replacement for proprietary spreadsheets.

If you are interested in contributing to its development please send us some

email, there are lots of projects available.

Random notes

------------

This is a partial list of Features implemented in Gnumeric, we need

documentation for these:

	- Autofill

		Number autofill (computes delta, autofills from that).

	 	String autofill (daynames, months are built in).

		String+Number combo integer autofill.

		Formula autofill.

	- Drag and drop selection

		Select an area and use the border to drag the

	 	contents (shift/control/alt are modifiers to copy

		or move)

	- Selection

		- Multiple selections are supported, hold down control

		  key to augment the existing selection (they can be

		  discontinuous).

		- Walking selection.

		  Use return/tab and shift-return/shift-tab to capture

		  information in a selection.

		- Fill quickly a region with the same text: just enter

		  the text in a selection and press control-enter.

	- Number formatting

		- The formatting of numbers is very powerful, we

		  emulate the Excel number formatting specification.

		- Format rules: you can use rules to specify which

		  format to use.

		- Format colors: you can specify a color to format

		  within the format.

		- Conditional colours and format strings.

	- Column/Row resizing

		- Drag the column/row division to adjust the column

		  and row dimensions.

		- To make changes to various columns/rows

		  simultaneously, select the columns and then change

		  the dimension of one of them.

	- Content

		- Merged Cells

		- Array formulas

	- Filters

		- MS OfficeOpenXML 	Read/Write

		- MS Excel (95 -> 2003)	Read/Write

		- MS Excel (v2 -> v4)	Read

		- Applix (v4 & v5)	Read

		- Quattro Pro (v1-v3)	Read

		- Planperfect		Read

		- Lotus (wk1)		Read

	- To edit the contents of a cell that already has a value,

	  press F2 key.

	- When typing a formula, you can use the cursor keys to select

	  a cell or a cell range in the expression.  This will only

	  work if a cell name is valid at the cursor point.

	  To specify a cell range, just move to the start of the cell

	  range and then hold down the shift key while making the size

	  of the selection cursor bigger.

	- An expression is evaluated constantly on top of the current

	  selection.  There is a number of pre-defined auto-compute

	  expressions, you can change this by right clicking on this

	  expression (it is on the bottom right corner).

	- If you drag a selection with button 3 instead of button one

	  there is no default action, rather, a menu pops up with

	  a list of possible options on actions to perform.

	- Gnumeric distinguishes regular text from formulas by preceding

	  formulas with an equal sign.  So to enter an expression you have

	  to enter for example: =1+2.

	- Control-A selects all.

	- Alt-Space selects the row.

	- Control-Space selects a column.

	- Selection-keys + control extend the selection to boundary of

	  worksheet.

	- Shift-Backspace:  Collapses selection to active cell.

	- Home: move to the beginning of the row.

	- Control-Home: move to the cell A1

	- Control-Enter: copies current edit text to the selected range.

	- Control-Shift-Enter: If there is a single range selected and the

	  current edit text is a formula, the formula is made into an

	  'array-formula'.

	- Control-Pg{Up,Down}: Switch to the previous/next worksheet.

	- Alt-Pg{Up,Down}: Page left and right.

	- Mouse-Wheel : scroll up/down

	- Alt-Mouse-Wheel : scroll left-right

	- Arrow+ScrollLock

     o Frozen Panes (including Horizontal or Vertical only)

     o Auto-convert-on-input features: When you enter text in Gnumeric

       it is now matched against the known formats of Gnumeric and if

       possible, converted to a (number, format) pair.  This works

       when you enter a formula and when you type in text.

       This means you can use now dates and times in expressions, like

       this: ="10-Jan"+45.  However, just because you can does not

       mean you should!  If you send a spreadsheet like this to someone

       else whose computer is set to a different locale, then there

       is no guarantee that the string will be interpreted in the

       same way.

       Autofill will also work on this.
