All actions are relative to where you placed the I-beam (also called I-cursor) in the text editor. This includes hotkeys.
Once you place the I-beam, simply select one of the actions from the menu (see Tools → Table tools), click a button from the toolbar, or press a hotkey.
| Hotkey | Action |
|---------------------------------|----------------------------------|
| Tab | Jump to next cell |
| Shift + Tab | Jump to previous cell |
| Enter | Insert instead of newline |
| Cmd or Ctrl + Enter | Insert row below |
| Cmd or Ctrl + Tab | Insert column to the right |
| Cmd or Ctrl + Shift + F | Format current table |
All of these actions can also be performed from the menu (e.g. Tools → Table tools → Row → Insert below).

Every now and then the plugin swallows up its dialogs. There doesn't seem to be anything I can do to fix this.
If that happens to you, click "Cancel" and try again.
Also, if this happens all the time, you can enable these (working) dialogs in the advanced settings and they'll show up whenever feasible:

It could be that only every second table gets formatted, when you click Format all tables.
If that happens to you, click Format all tables twice or format each table with Format table.
This can happen sometimes, especially if you change settings.
Try to restart Joplin.
