Easy Table Navigator

This plugin adds a layer command to use simplified key combination to navigate table cells. When the layered commands are enabled, you can perform the following actions:

  • Navigate to the previous or next cell horizontally or vertically using arrow keys
  • Navigate to the first or last cell of the row or the column using control+arrow keys or Home, End, PageUp and PageDown
  • Read the whole row or column without moving the system caret using windows+leftArrow / windows+upArrow
  • Read the row or column starting from the current cell using windows+rightArrow / windows+downArrow

Currently supported tables are:

  • Browse mode (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.).
  • Microsoft Word.

Commands

  • Toggles table navigator layer on and off (unassigned).
