Automatically select entire rows on pressing down and up-arrow key

[andreashermle]

Dear Experts:

The following code snippets selects the entire row of the currently
selected cell

Rows(ActiveCell.Row).Select

Is it possible to link this entire row selection command to the up and
down arrows of the keyboard?

For example:
The currently selected cell is B5. Pressing the down-arrow-key brings
me to B6. The entire sixth row is to be selected automatically without
manually activating the selection macro.

Is this feasible?

Help is much appreciated.

Thank you very much in advance. Regards, Andreas

Here is sheet event code which will select the entire row of any cell you arrow
to or mouse-click.

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Rows(ActiveCell.Row).Select
End Sub

But, I don't think it is what you want.

Do you also want to be able to select single cells or ranges which are not an
entire row?

How specific do you need your selection(s) to be?
