I have tried and can't block select a range of cells inside the function wizard using the shift-arrow keys. To reproduce just open the function wizard and select the FREQUENCY function. The select the DATA field and click on any cell. You should now be able to move around using the arrow keys and by using the shift and arrow key block select a range of cells. This does not work.
Thanks for new idea I agree that usability here can be improved.
