Better keyboard navigation

[Susexe]

If you ask me, using arrow keys for cell navigation is not a good design. I'm very used to using them for text manipulation in an edit field (along with the Shift and Ctrl modifiers), which I can't do with the extension. Hotkeys like Alt + left/right arrows for navigating to the previous/next cell and, most importantly, Alt + up/down arrows for the previous/next row in a column would make a world of a difference for localizing. An additional alternative hotkey like Tab / Shift + Tab for the next/previous cell would also be good.

Also, very important: switching to a new cell should make the cell editable by default without hitting Enter. It speeds up the localization process by a lot.

Hi there, thanks for the suggestion. I'm relying on an underlying grid component to draw and deliver most functionality here. I haven't taken a look at this, but would welcome any PRs that might make this work. In that sense "help wanted" here ;-).

I'm considering switching to this grid: https://grid.glideapps.com/ would this work better for your navigation expectations @Susexe

It's certainly a lot better! Tab / Shift + Tab navigates to the next/previous column, and Enter to the next row.

@timheuer Did you get a chance to work on this one?

Unfortunately I have not had the time to look further, sorry.
