1. Double-clicking the "+" doesn't anything in both Excel and PlanMaker
2. You just need to do what I showed you in the animation:
2.1. select 1, 2, 3
2.2 mouse hover the corner so that a "+" appears
2.3 click and drag the plus to auto-fill

I can't drag and drop for more than 100 cells. It's difficult. Please check the screen shot.

It appears you are double-clicking the PLUS sign. Please don't do that, because that will switch into cell editing mode.

You should single-left-click the PLUS sign and, without releasing the left-mouse-button, start dragging the PLUS down.

Oh, I see! In Excel, when you double-click the PLUS, it will automatically make a drag&drop for you to match the "height" of the column on its. I'm going to forward your feature idea to our product manager. Thanks.

Please, I hope you people add this feature, it has been around for two decades already in MS Excel, I was going to buy the 2021 suite and ended up with this issue which lead me to this thread. It is a boomer to not be able to drag and drop for match heigth with double click specially because 20% of my actions in Excel come from that to fill tables and replicate formulas.

When you add this I hope you let us know via email or in this same thread since I will wait until then before buying it. BTW the thing I love about the suite thus far is how well it works on Linux, but I hope Text editor icon would be blue by default hahaha.

Cheers and thanks for these awesome programs.

Hi,
I've registered to this forum just to say that we need this basic feature. It is cumbersome to hold the mouse and drag it for the large number of rows. But in general, all SoftMaker Suite is great =D>

Is this feature to double click the PLUS to extend the equation already implemented? Or a similar shortcut to do that? It is probably one of the most used features in the daily work of spreadsheet users, so it would be great to have it available. Thanks!
