In Openoffice if I started typing in a cell and the autoinput highlighted an option, if I hit 'tab' it would show the next option in that column.

In Libreoffice if I start typing in a cell and the autoinput highlighted an option, if I hit 'tab' (or Shift+tab) it will select the adjacent cell.

How can I tab to more options.

I've found the Control+D drop down list, but I have large sheets and would like to find with the quicker tab option. In Libreoffice Help "AutoInput" this seems to say tabbing would work:

" - To view more completions, press Tab to scroll forward, or Shift+Tab to scroll backward."

I looked at tools>customize>keyboard and tab is not listed as definable key.

I'm using version: LibreOffice 3.4.5 OOO340m1 (Build:502) on a XP machine.

Use Control+Tab and Control+Shift+Tab instead of Tab and Shift+Tab. The help text was not updated to reflect this change.

Confirmed on LO 4.0.0.3 + Ubuntu 12.04.2. Ctrl+Tab shows the next option in the autoinput list.

The help text now confusingly mentions the CommandCtrl key -- is that something that exists on modern Mac keyboards? Do they mean Command or Ctrl key?

Bug filed as fdo#62292 - WIKIHELP: Multiple references to non-existent key CommandCtrl
