The extension works really well I really loved it. If there's something to improve upon the current version IMO would be 1. Ctrl(CMD)+ Arrow Keys to jump to the last blank / non blank cell 2. Highlighting cell (To perform this with keyboard is really tedious, you have to ctrl+option+t to go to the toolbar then 'a' to accessibility then you'd tab all the way to highlight bar then select the colour.... you get the idea). Thank you guys for all the effort making vim motions work in Google Sheets!

can't believe i found this just now. Thank you so much. If possible could you add a function for shortcut to toggling filter? That would be absolutely amazing to do just by entering a key
