Use arrow keys to move highlighted rows?

**Bryan S** · 02-07-2012, 02:30 PM

If I hist Shift Space in a cell then I can highlight an entire row.

If I then hit shift arrow I can move up or down and highlight the additional rows (so I have 1,2,3,4 etc. rows highlighted).

I would like to be able to arrow down or up and MOVE the highlighted row. Is this possible?

Hi Bryan S,

Welcome to the forum.

As in step 2, after Selecting rows 1,2,3,4... if you want them to move somewhere else, just ctrl+X them here and go to desired location and right click -> insert cut cells because moving with arrow up / down will not move the highlighted rows. thanks.

I don't think I was clear in what I wanted. I don't really want to move the highlighted row, just to move the highlight.

Ok..

You can move the highlighted selection using shift and arrow key combination... up and down..!!

Yes, that works but can I actually MOVE the highlight down one row. So if I have Row 24 highlighted I would like to be able to use the arrow keys (or some other key) to move down to row 25, unhighlighting row 24, and highlighting row 25, and then move down again, unhighlighting 25, and highlighting 26, etc.
