Description

Description

I'd like to use shortcuts to add new rows rather than clicking +

Shift + Enter creates a new row below the current active row. Hover on + to show a tooltip informing users of this shortcut

Impact

Grid users

Research direction
The feature request is to add a keyboard shortcut (Shift+Enter) to insert a new row below the active row in the grid view, and a tooltip on the '+' button. Start by exploring the Flutter grid view implementation in the AppFlowy repository, likely under lib/features/grid or similar. Look for existing key event handling and row insertion logic. The shift key modifier should be handled in the key event listener. Consider adding a tooltip to the '+' button using Flutter's Tooltip widget. There are no linked PRs or comments indicating previous attempts.
