1. There are a couple of ways to jump around a table. In all cases you should be interacting with the table. 1. Use jump cursor mode... VO-shift-J puts you in jump mode, there are 8 combinations you can then use... 1. VO-arrow move to the visible edge in the direction of the arrow. 2. VO-shift-arrow move to the edge of the table in the arrows direction. 2. Use the three finger swipe.. 3. Item chooser VOI-I or numpad 1. Will display most elements available in a list, that shrinks as you type (try Oct) for getting to October.... 4. PageUp / PageDown keeys (if on reduced size keyboard, use FN + Up/Down ) 5. Use the search functionality, there is always spotlight, and most Apple programs have a command-f or command-option-f for search. 6. Use "Smart mailboxes" / folders that automatically search for you. There is an example of all files created in the last week...
