Anyone know how to move the cursor in Fire TV with Alexa?

Searching for the past 1/2 hour has yielded nothing. I want to move the little Fire TV box up down left right, etc without the remote.

I don't have a Fire TV box, but wouldn't you just tell Alexa to launch the program that you are trying to open, rather than moving it piece by piece?

What is the final destination you are wanting to scroll to? Rather than saying move right 3 times, just say launch netflix.. or whatever the program/app is.
 
I can "launch Hulu" or "Home-screen" but once there, I cannot tell Alexa, "play Learn ABC and Color with Monster Trucks" without finding the remote the toddler hid under the sofa cushions.

Does this help?

When you use an Alexa Voice remote, or pair an Alexa-enabled device such as Amazon Echo or Amazon Tap with your Fire TV, you can use the following voice controls.

YOU CAN TELL ALEXA TO:
Play a specific show or movie: “Play The Simpsons on Hulu” or “Watch The Handmaid’s Tale”
Turn on a specific live TV* channel: “Turn on ESPN on Hulu” or “Tune to The History Channel on Hulu” or “Change to CNN”
Search for stuff to watch: “Alexa, find comedy on Hulu”, “Alexa, search for Marvel on Hulu”

WHILE WATCHING, YOU CAN ALSO TELL ALEXA TO:
“Pause” or “Stop” playback
“Play” or “Resume” playback
Go backwards/forwards: “Rewind” or “Fast forward”
Go to a specific point: “Go back/forward 7 minutes” or “Skip back/forward 25 seconds” or “Rewind/fast forward 2 minutes”
Restart the video: “Restart” or “Rewind to the beginning” or “Go to the start”
