Example Table with NVDA Navigation

NVDA currently supports table navigation using the arrow keys, tab and shift+tab, and by holding control+alt with the arrow keys. Instead of going from cell to cell using arrow keys, SPRITEs lets you navigate to a specific row and column of a table using its spatial structure. SPRITEs maps row and column numbers to the leftmost column and the first row of your keyboard, excluding the function-row keys (i.e. the row containing Escape, f1, f2, f3, and so on). The keys for switching between rows include keys graav, tab, capslock, left shift, and left control. The keys for switching between columns include the number keys 1 through 0, and - and =.

By default, row 1 and column 1 of the table are selected when SPRITEs mode is activated, which means the keys graav and 1 would initially map to the cell at row 1 column 1. Pressing a column or row key once changes the selection to the corresponding column or row of the table. At any point during the tutorial, you can exit SPRITEs by pressing the Escape key to start over again.

Below is a table containing flight information from Seattle to New York City. Use the NVDA table navigation shortcuts to get familiar with the table. Then when you are ready, press Next.
