Working quite extensively with the table widget at the moment, but running into some things. Not sure if I am just missed anything in the documentation, or whether these would be new features.

 

I am a big fan of using the keyboard more than the mouse, so always looking for shortcuts.

 

When I have a cell selected in the table widget, I can use the regular cursor keys to move left-right-up-down. I also found that using the ctrl key in combination with the cursor keys selects the cell in the top/left/bottom/right row/column, which is also useful at times.

However, was wondering if it is also possible to scroll one page at a time up and down using the page-up / page-down keys (those actually don’t work, but are there any other keyboard combinations that will do the same?)

 

Another question is whether it is possible to programmatically ‘select’ a cell from AIMMS code such that the viewport on the table is modified to have that cell being active? Underlying use case is that I have a table with at the moment somewhere between 300 and 400 lines where I as developer can provide translations for items. This table also contains a bunch of empty rows at the end, allowing me to easily add new entries without having to manually add each new row separately. When I open the page with this table, it opens up on the first row of the table, and I need to scroll down (using the mouse at the moment, not the keyboard). If I could create a button / procedure that selects a certain row (and or row/column combination) that would make adding new entries in such tables a lot easier. Also the page-up and page-down way of scrolling would make things a lot easier already.
