Stay In The Same Cell After Pressing The Enter Key With Shortcut Keys in Calc

How I can Stay In The Same Cell After Pressing The Enter Key With Shortcut Keys?

Hello @ASIFahmed, If you need to repeatedly change values, use a cell next to the column or row headings; there you can write and accept by pressing the arrows in the direction of the titles (or with Shift+Enter or Shift+Tab if edited the cell content).

…Pressing The Enter Key With Shortcut Keys…

What shortcut keys are you talking of? Did you probably keep pressed a modifyer key (Shift / Ctrl / Alt) at the same time as the Enter key?

Did you disable the option >Tools>Options>LibreOffice Calc>General>>Press Enter key to move selection… ?

Alt + Enter worked for me. Thank you. I am using Libre Office 7.0.3 on Windows 10.

Sorry! There seems to be a misunderstanding.
I did not suggest to use the Alt modifyer. It should be used for a different purpose.
I asked what keys you were talking of.
To use Enter together with the modifiers Ctrl, Alt, Shift+Ctrl is assigned to very special functionality.

Select the cell,Âą then you can enter values and formulas, and the cell will remain selected, regardless of whether you press Enter, Shift+Enter, Tab or Shift+Tab.

Âą Shift+Down Arrow-Up Arrow or Shift+Right Arrow-Left Arrow, Shift+Up Arrow if in row 1, Shift+Left Arrow if in column A.

If you are annoyed by a move to a different cell after having quit editing a cell using the Enter key, the only reasonable way is, to disable the option >Tools>Options>LibreOffice Calc>General>>Press Enter key to move selection…

Ctrl+Enter would insert a hard line break into the textual content of the cell, Alt+Enter is assigned to the functionality of entering the same content into all the cells that were selected in advance, and Shift+Ctrl+Enter is specialized to entering formulas for array-evaluation.
Don’t mix all that up.
