I'm visually impaired and using screen reader software which reads text by Synthetic speech. It was not easy for me to
navigatea large table to find the first row of a particular wait event type. With your proposal, I'll be able to move
amongtables with a single key press ("T" and "Shift + T".) I'd also be happy about separating the section for wait
eventsas you propose, because navigating in a long section is cumbersome.
