For the table caption case, should we special case it so that it jumps the selection into the table rather than skipping it?

I don't understand what this task is about. Can you explain, please?

@Deskana: "active node" means one which can have cursor focus within it, in a way that's somewhat separate from the general article flow. This patch makes it so that moving your cursor with the arrow keys doesn't keep it trapped within those nodes. E.g. if you're in a table caption and press the up arrow, you would previously have stayed in the caption, but now you'll find the cursor in the preceding content.

@DLynch/ @Esanders: Are the following cursoring behaviors intentional?

1. Right now, I can't move the cursor into the caption of a table with down arrow, it skips the caption field but it works fine with up arrow.
2. When you have an active cursor inside a table cell, up arrow moves it to the caption field skipping the cells in between, or to the preceding content if the caption is disabled. Same for down arrow.

Question 1 is what I was asking above in my first comment on this task, so I'd say that's somewhat-undecided. I think 2 is unintended, though; it should switch to cell selection first.

Alright! :) Shall we use this same task to address those issues?

[VisualEditor/VisualEditor@master] WIP Cursor into table captions if present, instead of the first cell

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/448580

I've separated the table caption issues into T201870.

So it seems the second issue of up arrow skipping the cells in between and moving to the caption field or to the preceding content is almost fixed. I see a flickering cursor in those positions still but that's negligible I suppose or not :) I am marking this issue verified from my side anyways.
