> Adding alt-ctrl-LEFT/RIGHT/UP/DOWN (option-command-LEFT/RIGHT/UP/DOWN) key bindings to
> 
> - ListView
> - TreeView
> - TableView
> - TreeTableView
> 
> to support keyboard-only horizontal and vertical scrolling.  The main reason for the change is to improve accessibility.
> 
> **NOTE: For controls in right-to-left orientation, the direction of horizontal scrolling is reversed.**
> 
> As far as I can tell, these key combinations do not interfere with editing.
> 
> The proposed solution can be further optimized by adding a public method to the VirtualFlow class, something like
> 
> 
> public void horizontalUnitScroll(boolean right);
> public void verticalUnitScroll(boolean down);
> 
> 
> Q: Does this change require a CSR to explain the change in the controls' behavior?  We don't yet have the key bindings documented in /doc-files/behavior
> 
> Note:
> Jenkins headful test passed on all mac configurations, failed on all linux configurations (master branch failed also, so it is test issue), while windows configuration is not yet available.
