I too have been searching for a keyboard shortcut for fill down such as exists in Excel (ctrl-D) and have not (yet) been successful.
I have, however, been able to figure out how to fill down w/o using the menu but you still need your mouse:
* Select the cell range you want to start your fill down with (usually a single cell but for patterns can be multiple).
* drag the selection downward using the "handle" on the lower-right corner of the initial selection. While dragging the new selection will be outlined in red.
Anyone know if there is a keyboard shortcut? |

Go to Tools -> configure... and you can assign any action to any keyboard shortcut
"Fill Down" is in the "Edit" category
If you actually haven't got a mouse you can access the menus with alt/tab/arrows. So I think in theory you can do anything with keyboard only. |
