Hi, what you are referring to sounds like moving to regions with Control arrows. There is no such command in numbers that I am aware of. I was a big Excel fan and I too found this to be a problem at first. But, because numbers uses a canvas system as opposed to a large spreadsheet, with tables being placed on the canvas and containing data, there are no spaces between datasets like in excel. I solve the problem of large spreadsheets by using a large number of smaller tables to contain my data. Then, if needed, I can filter the table for the data I want to see. Usually the tables are small enough that I don't have any trouble navigating them and finding what I'm looking for. as to selecting columns and rows, you can simply press shift command arrow keys to select from the current cell to the last cell in the row or column. Also, you can access the entire column or row for sorting and filtering and other functions by pressing shift VO slash ( above the return key), then arrow up or down to the row or column selector, and then arrow keys to move to the desired row or column. bring up the context menu (VO shift M) to sort the row/column etc.
I was skeptical at first about numbers vs Excel, but I've transferred my entire personal accounting system over to numbers and find it superior to excel in many ways. The formula editor is a vast improvement over that of excel and I'm getting so I like the canvas arrangement over excel's one large spreadsheet system. It's better for data organization in my opinion. There's a lot of messages on the Mail-archive.com site about numbers. Just keep asking your numbers questions here if you can't find what you need there.
