Feature request: "Insert Rows..."
Hello!
I think the current "Insert Rows" should be "Insert Row", and it should be
accompanied by an "Insert Rows..." which takes a number and allows you to
insert multiple rows. Otherwise, say you need to insert 20 rows, it's gonna
be a lot of clicking!
Many thanks!
Tony

Select multiple rows where you want the new rows to be. (Click the
row at one end of the range and Shift+click the row at the
other.) Then Insert Rows will replace all those rows with new empty
ones, moving existing rows down.
I trust this helps.

That's fine; but if you happen to want, say, 43 new rows? Or 143?
I think the OP has a valid point.

Try highlighting the number of rows you want to insert and then click on
insert rows.
