[image] crystal_ball Fibery roadmap for Feb-April 2023 Please add a simple way to add new rows in tables via keyboard (ALT+ENTER or something) Hm, but there is already Shift+Enter keyboard shortcut. Doesn’t it work for you? [image]

[image] misha: Hm, but there is already Shift+Enter keyboard shortcut. Doesn’t it work for you? I think @njyo is referring to simple text tables in documents/rich text fields.

Correct! Thanks, @Chr1sG , this is for simple Text Tables, not entities… BTW, Shift+Return at least on the Mac is used for the classic Enter: It will add a new line but not exit the container (i.e. it stays in the same row). You can test that with lists and paragraphs, where it just starts a new lin…

Please add a simple way to add new rows in tables That would be nice. Tables in a document aren’t the same as spreadsheet - the whole editor context is different. You much more frequently want to put carriage returns in cells, and changing how enter works based on whether you’re inside a table c…

Well, in a document context RETURN (my Macs don’t have enter anymore) does move me to the next container like a new paragraph or a new list item. SHIFT+ENTER gives me a new line in my current container (i.e. same paragraph or list item). I don’t see why an in-line Text Table should behave different…

I don’t see why an in-line Text Table should behave differently. The point is that in the context of a table cell, “the next container” (as you put it) could be either a new paragraph inside the cell, or a new row for the table. It’s ambiguous. Given that, I would expect return to give me a new …

[image] HereBeBeasties: I would expect return to give me a new paragraph and shift+return to give me a new line When you say “new paragraph” and “new line”, what do you mean? Inside a table cell there are usually no paragraphs, moving the caret to a new line in the same cell is exactly what …

[image] njyo: When you say “new paragraph” and “new line”, what do you mean? You can have both new lines (shift+enter) and new paragraphs (enter) in table cells: [image]

Thanks for clarifying @HereBeBeasties ! To me new paragraphs are a bonus. If I can have that, cool. But most inline tables from Notes, to Google Docs and Confluence don’t really have that I think.

Respectfully, I strongly disagree. A document editor should let you cut/paste text from outside of a table cell into a table cell, and it should not mangle the formatting as it does that. Ipso facto, if new lines and paragraphs are different things outside of a table they should be different things…

Happy to go with your suggestion—as indicated before—if that means I don’t have to grab the mouse each time I need a new row. I use tables A LOT, and currently it’s a pain.
