MATLAB appdesigner chage selected cell in UItable

Question

I have a UItable in MATLAB appdesigner, let's say 'app.UITable'. Can I change the selected cell via callback function? For example, I would like to move one cell down when Enter key is pressed. For what I read, new MATLAB uiobjects do not accept button-press callbacks. Is that true? or is there any known hack to do that? Thank you.

As of R2018b, new figure interactions were added. Regarding your specific question, you should take a look at these new keyboard interaction callbacks:

• KeyPressFcn - This callback function executes when the user presses a key while the figure or a child object has focus. If the user presses a key on a UIControl or Table component, the callback does not execute unless the Enable property is set to 'off'.
• KeyReleaseFcn - This callback function executes when the user presses [sic] a key while the figure or a child object has focus. If the user releases a key on a UIControl or Table component, the callback does not execute unless the Enable property is set to 'off'.
• WindowKeyPressFcn - This callback function executes when the user presses a key while the figure or a child object has focus.
• WindowKeyReleaseFcn - This callback function executes when the user releases a key while the figure or a child object has focus..
