Cursor key navigation in tables

[Heiko Haida]

Hi all, 

I checked with "alt-key + shift-key + arrow-keys", that
would work (alt/shift+arrow does not seem to have another function when
the cursor is placed in the text). 

<Modify MoveIPToCellAtRight
<KeySequence ~+/Right >>
<Modify MoveIPToCellAtLeft <KeySequence ~+/Left
>>
<Modify MoveIPToCellAbove <KeySequence ~+/Up >>
<Modify
MoveIPToCellBelow <KeySequence ~+/Down >> 

Best regards -

exactly right. Thanks.

In my poking around earlier today, I did find these commands in cmds.cfg
and tried to reassign the MoveIPToCellAbove and ...CellBelow commands to
more convenient shortcut keys. But whether I left them alone, changed
the <KeySequence > definition, or added a <Modify > command, those two
MoveIP commands refuse to do anything. ...CellAtLeft and ...CellAtRight
both work, as do MoveIPUpAndSelectText and MoveIPDownAndSelectText, but
not the two commands I specifically want to use. I suppose I'll just
have to use the move and select commands, because at least it's better
than having to reach for the mouse every damn time.

frustrating is that I *know* these commands worked in FM5.5.6, 6.0, 7.x
and 8.0. Chalk up one mlore feature that got broken and never fixed when
Adobe saw fit to impose their stupid and inconvenient (and buggy...) UI
on us with version 9.0. Sigh...
>> 
>> I suppose I *should* report this
bug to Adobe, but every time I have done it in the past has been an
exercise in ultimate frustration. Every time it has taken me between one
and two hours to accomplish something that should have taken 10-15
minutes. And ever since software development and maintenance was moved
to Bangalore, the only response I have ever gotten to a reported bug was
that "we fixed the software to make it work the way it was supposed to
work". Never mind that the new behavior was illogical and inconsistent
with how other similar features worked, the mere fact that FrameMaker
now behaved differently meant that a whole flock of my carefully
designed procedures and processes no longer worked. I might have chalked
it up to job security, but my employer (by acquisition...) chose to shut
down their operation here in New Jersey. But that's a story for another
day...
