Yeah, you could do that, I myself just find it easier when I can actually see what I'm doing, if that makes any sense.

is there a way to input text into a cell without having to click on the cell, then the text box above? I am used to inputing text into a cell, then pressing the right arrow to go to the next cell.
how about keyboard shortcuts for copy and paste?

Im afraid thats the only way to do it....I wish it were different. I'm not sure if gnumeric is actively being developed anymore...I would call this a big bug myself.

The maemo port of gnumeric might well not being maintained. Another shortcoming of the maemo port is that the hardware full screen button is ignored. I guess that won't be a problem for the n900.

Nice to know I am not the only one that is sort of dissatisfied with the features of gnumeric out of the box. I can't complain, as it is free and works really well.
1. Download the attacted zip file, unzip it and place the .xml file inside on your tablet, for convenience put it on the internal 2GB memory.
2. Open xterm , type in "sudo gaintroot" (without quotes)
3. Type in "emelfm2" (without quotes)
4. On both panes you will see a big green H tap each one once so that there is a red slash through them
5. On the left pane, navigate to /usr/share/gnumeric/1.8.4
6. On the right pane navigate to /media/mmc2 (this is your internal memory card)
7. Simple drag the xml file (HILDON_Gnumeric-gtk.xml) from the right pane over to the left, it will ask you if you want to overwrite the current file, click yes
8. Open gnumeric and if you have the standard toolbar enabled "Manage Sheets" should be the fourth item down. After you make sure everything looks fine, you can close out emelfm2 and xterm.
Also, to answer your other question the behavior of having to tap a cell then tap at the top to type is an unavoidable bug.
