For snobs like me who wantswant to use keyboard only:
- Select the cells you want to move (doesn't necessarily need torows or columns, or any rectangle of cells, but the selection must be a complete row for thiscontiguous)
- Press Ctrl+x (Ctrl+c would let you make two copies.)
- Move to or select the cell immediately below the oneafter where you want to move the content (below it, or to the right.) This cell will not move.
- Press ctrl-Ctrl++. This will shift cells down or to the right. (Ctrl+v would overwrite cells instead.)
On the Mac, all of these shortcuts work the same with either Ctrl or ⌘.
