Is there any way to enable keyboard navigation in a table build with
the suggested jface-combo of
- tableviewer
- contentprovider
- labelprovider
- celleditor
- cellmodifier ?

My first idea was to use a tableCursor, but i dont know how to activate
the celleditor in a given row/column.

The behaviour should be similar to excel:
up/down key activates a different cell editor
all changes are safed immediately (no ENTER required)

I've now found out how to activate the celleditor in a given row/column:
TableViewer.editElement(Object element, int column)

But there is one problem left:
Where can I atach a KeyListener or TraverseListener to change the
selection by arrow-key ??
All key events seem to go directly to the celleditor, but with
(tableViewer.getCellEditors())[0].getControl().addKeyListene r(myKeyListener);
i dont get any results.

The cellEditor seems to completly consume the events.
