Description

It'd be great to navigate the table by cell instead of by row, but I suspect that's a big change. A smaller one would be to allow command-arrow to work as it normally does, sending the selection all the way to the top or the bottom of the table.

(If navigation were by cell instead of by row, it might make more sense for command-arrow to work more as it does in Excel and other spreadsheets, sending you to the last cell in the sequence which has contents or not (depending on the current cell).)

Research direction

Start by locating the table's existing keyboard navigation handling and reproduce the current behavior with Command-Up and Command-Down. Done means those shortcuts move the selection to the top or bottom of the table, while cell-by-cell and spreadsheet-style navigation remain outside this smaller change.
