The present invention provides a method, system, and computer program product for type-based table navigation. The method comprises: selecting a data type; activating a type-based navigation mode; and navigating exclusively between data of the selected data type in an arrangement of data, wherein data not of the selected data type in the arrangement of data is skipped. When the type-based navigation mode is subsequently deactivated, a user can navigate through any of the data in the arrangement of data regardless of data type.
