How would you do this? I can understand this in the editor, where you have a caret, so you know which cell you're in. But if the user has scrolled to a table in the browser, which doesn't have a caret, how do you know which cell the user is looking at in order to work out which cell the navigation commands should take you to?

This is what browsewithcaret is for. However, the problem is that within composer you have tab/shift+tab to move between cells. What keys should be used for that in the browser?
