Shortcut to go to next table cell in table in Pages In Numbers, it is possible to go to the cell below the cell you are currently in by pressing Enter.

In a table in Pages, it seems as though pressing Enter simply makes a new line in the table cell. Additionally, pressing the arrow keys only move the text insertion cursor and pressing Escape. Pressing ⌘ Enter does deselect the current cell and keep the entered text in it, but it doesn't automatically go to the next cell.

Is there a way (like there is in Numbers) to go to the next cell in a table in Pages?
⌥ alt/option↩︎ enter/return will always move down a cell.



The down ↓ arrow key will move you down a cell when


not editing the contents of the cell
(i.e. the cell is selected but the insertion point is not within the cell), or
the insertion point is on the last line of the text content of the cell


If your insertion point is on another line of the cell, either


keep pressing ↓ until you get to the bottom line (then another press will jump cell), or
press ⌘cmd↩︎enter/return first to acknowledge cell contents and jump out of the cell, then ↓.
