Moving / Rearranging Calculated Columns in Data View in PBI Desktop and Ctrl+A

I'm trying to move my Calculated Columns in the Data View - is this possible? (It is in PowerPivot)

 

I'd like to rearrange my Calculated Columns so they are next to columns where they would be more relevant and make more sense.

 

It would be nice also if the Calculated Columns are shaded darker as in PowerPivot so we can easily distinguish them.

 

Also please enable Ctrl+A (Select ALL) in the Data View - currently it works only in the Query Editor.

 

This way we could Select ALL Data in the Data View where it would include the Calculated Columns.

Just downloaded the August update. Still can't move calculated columns or use Ctrl+A in data view. I suggest that you create a suggestion for both of these here:
