Description

Being able to use the arrow key to navigate between cells to quickly copy/paste data
From Discord:

Hi! I have noticed that we can't navigate between cells with arrow keys and I need that when I want to quickly copy / paste data between cells (of the same type of course). Notion can do that, I used to use it all the time. So it would be great if AppFlowy could too... What do you think ? (i'm on local, desktop app)

Impact

Improves entry speed and usability for users working with databases

Additional Context

Hi, I'm experiencing the same issue on the latest version (v0.11.4). I am unable to navigate using the arrow keys within the database view.
