I'd like some consistency between the Insert and Backspace shortcuts.

Selecting all columns of a pattern and then hitting insert only increments the column that currently has the cursor in it, while pressing backspace in the same scenario will back up every row in every column that is selected.

Another inconsistency is that pressing backspace will pull up all the rows selected despite how many rows there are, while insert only pushes everything down in the current column by [b]1[/b]!

It is inconsistent and therefore unintuitive.

Sure, I'll remove that backspace behaviour.

No! He wanted the make the insert behavior match backspace! Not the other way around

Of course, but that's not what he wrote in his request.

Xyz is right. I wanted the functionality for the Insert key to be consistent with the Backspace one. Not the other way around, since the backspace functions are much more convenient (and logical).

Yeah I was trying to make a point here, trying to be unambiguous when writing feature requests is a good thing.

It'll be the other way around!
