Description:
When editing tables: entering column names and then pressing return makes the keyboard focus jump to the cell to the right and not down as you would expect. The "edit table" table is like a spreadsheet, like Excel or OpenOffice, both of which jump down on RET.

It's much more intuitive for a RET to jump down not right.

How to repeat:
see above

Suggested fix:
Alternatively, you should offer the user an option in Tools -> Options... somewhere to set the RET behavior to

* down
* right

^^select one

Many thanks for writing a bug report. We discussed this and decided that we won't change this behaviour in foreseeable future.

Enter key is exiting edit mode.
