I can't quite get my head around this one...

Assuming that all the text in a table cell is selected, I want to move the selection to the next cell below the current cell, and select the text in that cell. I need to script this simple maneuver so I can assign a keyboard shortcut to it.

In other words, the script should programmatically do the same thing as [down arrow][esc][esc] does in a table.

I've been trying InsertionPoint.move, but can't quite figure out how to do this within a table framework.

Any ideas/pointers would be appreciated. Thanks.

if (app.selection[0].parent instanceof Cell) 
   { 
   row = app.selection[0].parent.parentRow.index; 
   app.selection[0].parent.parentColumn.cells[row+1].texts[0].select(); 
   }



The script should really also check whether you're you're in the last row of the table.
