Funny enough, when I was using oocalc at work, the UI drove me bonkers with 
exactly this sort of thing.  I ranted here, and about two days later, 
suddenly everything started working just fine and intuitive. I don't know 
what I was expecting that wasn't working the way I thought it was, but 
somehow the constant "Oh crap now I have to go use the mouse to put the 
cursor where it should have gone" just stopped happening to me. I must have 
unconsciously switched over to the right mental model or something, because 
it seemed perfectly obvious it should behave as it did.
