Changing Row Selection
Before we ask you to navigate the table using SPRITEs, let’s start with a smaller table. Below is a table with 4 rows and 3 columns, and we will use it to practice changing row selection with SPRITEs. On enabling SPRITEs mode, the keys graav, tab, capslock, left shift will map to row 1 to 4, respectively, and you can press those keys to explore different cells in column 1. You can also press R and SPRITEs will announce the row number of the selected cell. After you get the browse mode cursor to the table below this text, press NVDA+SHIFT+T to activate SPRITEs mode, and try to access the cell at row 3 column 1 by pressing capslock (the third row key).
