F2 is the only keyboard way to move the cursor into a
particular position before you start typing (to insert or
delete text etc). ie. Just like in a spreadsheet.

One inconsistency with spreadsheets is that just typing
into the cell adds on to the existing text rather than
replacing what is already there.
