Hi All,

Does anyone have an example of a grid or table that automatically scrolls as the user presses the down arrow key. For example:

A grid has 8 columns with 50 rows. Only 20 rows are shown. They are in column x and are on the last visible column. When pressing down arrow, the next column is shown and the first column with data is disappeared. The first row is a sticky header. Likewise the reverse occurs when using the up arrow.

What accessibility challenges are with the above pattern for screen reader, voice activation, low vision ETC? Is it possible?

Note, there will be interactive components inside the grid.
