writer & calc: "table: add column or row to selected range"

Hello

this probably would be an unique feature for an office suite:

We often would like to add a new row or column just to celected cells.
Today, we have to do this manually, e.g. for adding a column to a workingrange:

  1. Add new colum - this will fit the complete sheet
  2. Select the old and new column above our working range and merge those columns
  3. Do the same for the old and new column below our working range
  4. Now, we have added a column just for our working range

It would be great if this could be done the following way:

  1. Mark the working range which should get a new row or column and the surrounding rows / columns should not be changed
  2. Select the “add row / add column to range” command

Thanks a lot for advance,
kind regards,
Tom
