Best practice: Implementing lists and tables
• If the list is long and you want to display the items on separate screens, include Next and Previous buttons at the
bottom of the screen. Alternatively, if the list is very long (for example, thousands of items), provide screen numbers
instead.
• If you expect users to move through the items in the list (for example, in a message list or a feed), assign shortcut keys
for moving to the next or previous item in the list. Where possible, in English, allow users to press "N" to move to the
next item in the list and "P" to move to the previous item in the list.
