Let's simplify key signature from keynote and mode, the single-line table way. Memorize the line and you don't need the table.
Key Sig. Mode: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 0 #/b: FLyd Cmaj GMix DDor Amin EPhr BLoc If you have a sharp keynote just sharpen all the notes in the reference row and start from 7 sharps on the key signature. If you have a flat keynote just flatten all the notes in the reference row and start from 7 flats on the key signature. Mode positions are fixed. Start with your keynote in the reference row. Moving it n modes to the left adds n sharps to the key signature (or subtracts n flats if key sig. is 7b). Moving it n modes to the right adds n flats to the key signature (or subtracts n sharps if key sig. is 7#). That's all there is to it.
