Dear Gretl Team,

Recently I convinced my organization (the largest Brazilian bank) to replace EViews by Gretl. Now they are in a transition process and are feeling a little bit lost. In the most of time I can help them, but a new question arose and I can't do nothing.

The question is related with appending and updating data. I know that is possible to do this using the menu option "File -> Append data", but this is not as intuitive as opening the Gretl's built-in spreadsheet to change the values (at least, it is not intuitive for my colleagues). It's important to keep in mind that they are from "EViews & Windows Land" and aren't familiar to any script language.

So I would like to request you to allow multiple selection on
Gretl's built-in spreadsheet in order to copy, cut, and paste data just like Gnumeric, Excel, and others do. Is this possible?

Best regards,
