So, why can't you simply ask for the the first non-empty cell ( a new

empty cell in the current row (new api again) in a given direction?
That's what I'm asking for. I think we need to be careful with the term
non-empty; cells which exist but are "blank" shouldn't be skipped.
However, I'm guessing you mean non-empty as in "actually exists in the
tree right now".
Is that it or do you have other use cases?
Dominic seems to suggest that if there isn't a cell in the same column
in the next row, we shouldn't skip rows. I personally disagree with
this, but his argument is that a user might not realise there was data
in other columns in the skipped rows. If we do want to support Dominic's
request, we'd need to be able to navigate to the next "nearest" cell in
a given direction; e.g. if navigating by row, the cell returned might
not be in exactly the same column.
