Hi Juan You might want to try out also "C-u C-c `" or to toggle "M-x visible-mode RET". More comfortable would be to reuse this part from org-table-edit-field
#+begin_src emacs-lisp (let ((b (save-excursion (skip-chars-backward "^|") (point))) (e (save-excursion (skip-chars-forward "^|\r\n") (point)))) (remove-text-properties b e '(org-cwidth t invisible t display t intangible t)) (if (and (boundp 'font-lock-mode) font-lock-mode) (font-lock-fontify-block))) #+end_src that shows the whole content of the current cell until the next "org-table-align" from e. g. TAB. It should be relatively easy to combine this with "org-table-next-field" and parts of it for other moving directions and to assign that to keys for moving around.

Is there any way not involving the mouse?
