How can I disable "return key moves to next cell" in Numbers 3?

I want to create a new line inside one cell.  I'm using Number 3.5.2 on Yosemite.
In Numbers 2 there was an option whether I wanted the "return key [to move] to next cell", which I was able to disable. 
Does this feature exist in Numbers 3?  I haven't found it.  If not, does anyone know a workaround?  I could not find this question on the forums (for the current version of Numbers).

Hi Keith,
That feature has gone in Numbers 3.
To insert a new line in a cell in Numbers 3, type option enter.
Regards,
Ian.

  • In the previous version, the menu table in table options, there is an option that gives me the option: the Return key moves to next cell. I do not see this option in the new number. can you help me please?

    Hi silvano,
    If you use a regular pattern when entering values, press enter (return) after entering the last value in a row. That will take you to the first Body Cell of the next row.
    Start in Cell B2
    1 Tab 2 Tab 3 Enter
    4 Tab 5 Tab 6 Enter
    7 Tab 8 Tab 9 Enter
    Now you are ready to type into B5 .
    Another way that some people find easier is to enter one column at a time
    Start at B2
    1 enter
    4 enter
    7 enter
    etc.
    Now start with C2.
    Use whatever suits your work flow.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • How to turn off 'Return Key jumps to next cell' in Tables?

    I can't find where you turn off this feature.  I want to type two paragraphs in a cell with a space between them.  I've wasted 2 hours trying to figure this out.  Please help!

    Hey, I just wanted to let you know I've been having the same issue with the new 3.0 update for Numbers and just found a keyboard shortcut that has helped me a great deal.  I guess I'll be using this until they add an option to turn that "Return Key Moves to Next Cell" off, like the older versions had...
    Anyway, if you place the cursor where you'd like a line break and press Ctrl+O (mind you I do mean Ctrl and NOT Command here), it will insert a line break at that place.  Hope this helps!

  • How can i disable the automatic move command?

    how can i disable the automatic move command?  when i choose the move command it automatically moves whatever element that's selected, using the previous dimension used to move something.  Big Problem.

    went back to see if Preview was checked - it isn't.
    It happens when we double-click on the arrow to open the move dialouge box, but the box doesn't open - instead the selected item is automatically moved #!@**
    that's what we need to stop... any ideas?

  • How can I disable a key through software?

    A friend of mine spilt water on her keyboard. As a result, her forward slash key frequently spams and makes typing difficult. I used a program to remap the forward slash key to a forward delete key, but that has also caused problems. What I'm looking for is a program that will allow me to completely disable a key.
    I should note, I've used KeyRemap4Macbook and I've also developed my own code, which disables the key on Cocoa applications. However, the key still spams on applications like Microsoft Word.
    Her Macbook is more than a year old, and she can't afford to buy a new one.
    Any suggestions?

    Liquid in a physical keyboard is great trouble. You may worsen state if you continue to use it like this, make the effort to change it. It is not cheap, but may prove cheaper than damage the whole computer.

  • How can I disable 'backspace' key from navigating back a page?

    Several times over the last couple weeks, I type up a very well thought out response on Facebook in political conversations with friends. An hour or two into my work, I hit backspace with the intent of editing what I wrote (maybe after I scrolled or something, so maybe I unintentionally took the edit window out of focus). The navigator takes me back a page and I lose my two hours of work. Infuriating! Shortcuts with the ability to wipe out two hours of works should be disable-able. Not only that, I feel that is an unsafe shortcut for this very reason, and would have added a SHIFT modifier key or something like that. I think I invented a cool word: disable-able.

    You can set the Integer pref <b>browser.backspace_action</b> to <i>2</i> on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the backspace action. BTW Shift + Backspace does the reverse: going Forward if possible, so that is taken as well.

  • How can I do Count the Words in a cell with Numbers?

    I'm producing a documentary, with a long list of captions. I was hoping using numbers to organize the captions in sequence. them take the word count and do a simple calculation to work out the numbers of frames required per caption, based on a certian numbers of words per minute.
    I can handle calculations, but can't figure out how/if numbers can count the whole words in a cell and pass that on to a formula.
    I count them manually, but the nature of the script means the captions are being constantly updated.
    Any help appreciated!

    Clever. The only additional suggestion is to use the function Trim() just in case there are extra spaces between the words.
    =LEN(TRIM(B))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(B," ",""))+1

    Then Click on the Startup Tab and then uncheck the item for HPVOLUMEDISPLAY (forget the exact name) then click on APPLY then CLOSE and Restart

    Hi, Simon.
    You can instruct iTunes and iPhoto to save their respective libraries to a different disk, e.g. your second hard drive. You can also move existing libraries for these apps to a drive other than your startup disk.
    See the links concerning moving these libraries cited in the "More ways to save space if you have a spare partition or second hard drive" section of my "Freeing Space on your Mac OS X startup disk" FAQ.
    Good luck!

  • How can I disable developers tools from using function keys?

    Every time I try to use my Quake like console binded to the F12 key, it opens the dev.Tools. How can I disable or even better uninstall dev. Tools.
    I don't want to change the key I use for my console, I want dev.tools to stop bothering me when I'm browsing the web, IT'S DISTURBING!!!
    Most people doesn't need dev tools, just put it as a plugin !!!

    Was eventually able to eliminate this problem by deleting the size entry in the devtools.toolbox.host using about config.
    At least it's invisible now instead of occupying half the page every time I hit F12.
