I also found [this](https://support.apple.com/guide/pages/select-tables-cells-rows-and-columns-tan661e2f40a/mac) information under `cells` and `rows and columns` that shows the same key bindings. I could change the bindings, but that would change Aqua L&F to be further from native macOS behavior. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/7792
