Table navigation
===========
* Pressing tab or shift-tab in a table cell does nothing.  Moving
  to the next/previous table cell was expected, it is nice and
  quick to be able to jump out of a (long) cell text directly to
  the next cell.

* Pressing C-rightarrow (or leftarrow) jumps whole words
  at a time, for speedy navigation.  Unfortunately the cursor
  won't go to the next table cell, I have to release the control key.
  It'd be nice to jump to the next cell with C-arrows too.

* Exiting a table cell with left arrow moves to the previous
  cell.  But it moves to the start of the cell, I expected to get
  to the end of the cell. This makes a difference when there
  is long text in the cells.

* Using up & down arrows in a table is strange.
  If the cursor is in the middle of long text in one cell, then
  I expect it to get it to somewhere in the middle of the text
 in the cell above/below. This works, but in a strange cumbersome way:
 At first keypress, the cursor moves to the correct cell, but
 to the beginning or the end depending on wether it was a
 down or up key.  Odd. The next keypress gets the cursor into
 the location I expected!  Cumbersome because it is twice as
 many keypresses.  Seems the functionality I look for exists though.
 Illustration:

What happens: The "|" is the cursor:
 aa    bbb|bbbb  ccc
 dd    eeeeeee   ff
 m      m              m

DOWN

 aa    bbbbbbb  ccc
 dd    |eeeeeee   ff
 m      m              m

DOWN

 aa    bbbbbbb  ccc
 dd    eee|eeee   ff
  m      m              m


Ideal: aa bbb|bbbb ccc dd eeeeeee ff m m m

DOWN

 aa    bbbbbbb  ccc
 dd    eee|eeee   ff
  m      m              m
