Sorry - I did not look into the patch - but that sounds perfect.

For me, tables area a slightly different story, as they can not contain
line breaks. OK - you could argue headers neither. I think you got me
there. But the syntax in a table is more "abstract" then in a straight
header. Is you have priorities, tags, ... it is different, story.

But as you are asking, one more consistent possibility for tables would
be to *split* the cell where the cursor sits, (as in normal text) and
create a new empty row below the one the cursor is in with the cell
containing the remainder of the cell above. So:

| test 1 | re | t |
| test 2 | a  | b |
| test 3 | c  | d |

with cursor in the space in "test 2" would become
| test 1 | re | t |
| test 2 | a  | b |
| 2      |    |   |
| test 3 | c  | d |

But I would not suggest due to the table nature.

Cheers,

Rainer
