RFR: 8024624: [TEST_BUG] [macosx] CTRL+RIGHT(LEFT) doesn't move selection on next cell in JTable on Aqua L&F

[Miguel Munoz]

On the MacOS, it's the OPTION-CLICK event, not the COMMAND-CLICK event that does the same thing as CONTROL-CLICK on Windows and other platforms. Every platform has modifier key used to advance the cursor by words instead of characters, but the modifiers are different on the Mac.

To see this working correctly, try an app running under JDK 8, which was the last one they worked under. (Actually, I haven't tried 9 or 10) Or you can try any non-java application. This is a standard user interface convention, and Java should continue to support it like it did through Java -8.

Since for any reason the macOS does not supported such navigation in the tables and use it by mission control it seems correct to do the same in the native look and feel, and ignore the test.
