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 line without an added padding. Return on the Mac does `Return`, and thus move to the next container (or row) adding an `li` in a list or starting a new paragraph, etc.  
Google Sheets uses `Return` to move to the next row, `Shift + Return` to move to the previous row and `Alt/Option + Return` to insert a new line in the existing row. IMHO that’s in reverse

So from that perspective I would suggest _at least on the Mac_ for both Table and Text to add a new row on `Enter` (Return key)—just like Google Sheets and most apps, and just insert a line break with `Shift+Return` (as it should be) or `Alt/Option + Return` (like Google Sheets).  
Now, the UI can say “Enter” and most people do not notice the difference between Enter and Return.
