Description

Currently, it is impossible to use keyboard keys to navigate and edit databases in grid view. I would refer you to "typical" windows keyboard nav and shortcuts for most spreadsheet eidting as a reference point to see what is missing from appflowy but here is a general list of keyboard functionality I think we need in this app :
using arrow keys to move from cell to cell
crtl x to cut
ctrl c to copy
ctrl v to paste
hold shift and arrow keys to create a group selection
using mouse : click and hold to select multiple cells
del key to delete cell content
Importantly, this should also work for relational data.

See video for demonstration of issue : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKyoh00WFIk&t=1295s

personal importance level : 5/5

Impact

make editing of large data sets incredibly slow and frustrating.
