Just wondered if there is a quick shortcut way to add multiple rows quicker than selecting the row menu and choosing “Add row after”?

I would definitely like to have **keyboard shortcuts** for Rich Text table operations – at least for “ **add row after** ”.
And it would also make sense if after adding a new row, your cursor automatically moved to the first cell in the new row.

Can I suggest the following to easily add a new row to Rich Text tables without requiring the mouse:
If your cursor is currently in the last cell of the last row of a table, then hitting `TAB` should create a new row below and move the cursor to the first cell in it. In case that is not desired, simply hitting cursor-down would move the cursor out of the table to the content that follows.
This is how Google Docs does it.

Up on this item. Is there a shortcut to add a row?

Not yet, but we have it noted as a potential improvement

Love the suggestion. +1 It’s really hard to use tables now without keyboard shortcuts.

+1 for me on this too.
For now I’m using a little “trick” to add several rows to the tables:
1. Click on a cell in the row where you want to add rows after
2. Click on the context menu button (the three dots on the cell right)
3. Press the _down key_ on your keyboard to highlight the “ **Add row after** ” menu entry
4. Press the _Enter_ key on the keyboard
Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each row you want to add.
I find this method much faster thant keep clicking with mouse.
This is an example but this works for any operation like “Add row before”, “Add column before” etc.
