Commands to facilitate navigation on the tables

[nvaccessAuto]

In a table, would like the following commands to facilitate navigation on the tables and also out of them:

Control + Alt + Home: Go to the first table cell
Control + Alt + End: Go to the last cell of the table
Control + Alt + Page Up: Jump Up cell x in the same column
Control + Alt + Page Down: Jumps x cells down in the same column

And one to jump to the first cell in the current row, and another to jump to the last cell in the current row please. Thanks.

Possibly, the following keys:
Control+alt+shift+Home: jump to the first cell in the current row
Control+alt+shift+end: jump to the last cell in the current row
or then, I suggest the keys:
alt+shift+Home: jump to the first cell in the current row
alt+shift+end: jump to the last cell in the current row

Replying to jhomme:

And one to jump to the first cell in the current row, and another to jump to the last cell in the current row please. Thanks.

To add to the wish list:
a shortcut key to present (braille flash message/speech) the current cell coordinates.
Thank you.

Awesome stuff!
I would change a few things though.

Control + Alt + Home: Go to the first table cell

This can be done with Shift+comma.

Control + Alt + End: Go to the last cell of the table

This can be done with comma, then upArrow.

And one to jump to the first cell in the current row, and another to jump to the last cell in the current row please.

If we free up Ctrl+Alt+{home,end} as suggested above, then those keys would become available to go to the first/last cell of the current row. If not, then I'd propose a command without the Shift, beause that looks like you are going to select cells.
I wonder if we want something like this for the first/last cell in the column?

a shortcut key to present (braille flash message/speech) the current cell coordinates.

This is already spoken and brailled for every cell.

Control + Alt + Home: Go to the first table cell

This can be done with Shift+comma.

Only in browse mode though

Control + Alt + End: Go to the last cell of the table

This can be done with comma, then upArrow.

Only in browse mode

I propose:

• ctrl+shift+alt+left arrow: go to the first cell in the current row
• ctrl+shift+alt+right arrow: go to the last cell in the current row
• ctrl+shift+alt+up arrow: go to the first cell in the current column
• ctrl+shift+alt+down arrow: go to the last cell in the current column

ctrl+alt+home/end would be the most obvious hot keys for me to jump to begin/end of tables

Barring my comment about the Shift key this makes a lot of sense. And the use of the Shift key is only a minor concern. I like it!

Looks good. I don't think this is on our current road map, but we are happy to accept a pull request for this.

[feerrenrut]

Just realised, its not clear which application this is talking about. Would the expectation be a general solution that works in all tables (Office applications, browsers, etc?)

[dkager]

Definitely browse mode. But for consistency we should probably do Office too. I'm not sure if that is technically easy to do though.
