Ok I see. Since this requires monospace I think it will be of limited use. But let's see maybe many people will vote. Thanks!

Hi Thomas,
seems to me this is a very similar suggestion, isn't it?

Thanks for your comment!
Please also see this idea, which has many more votes: http://roadmap.cintanotes.com/topic/3391-quick-table-creation-like-tab-in-onenote/

Actually I don't think this option is documented, so no need for self-punishment :)

There's also an option for that, albeit it is not accessible from the UI.
Edit the cintanotes.settings file (make sure you do this while CN is not running), and set app.mainframe.minimizeonenter to 1.
