Concerning A,B: Maybe this is a misunderstanding (maybe on my side). After
pressing <Alt+Insert>/<Alt+Delete>, the insert/delete mode becomes active for a
duration of 3 seconds. If the user presses a (e.g.) cursor key within the three
seconds, then insert/delete/merge/whatever is executed. If the user does not
press a (e.g.) cursor key during the three seconds, then Writer goes back to
the normal cursor navigation mode. That works as expected.

But, yes, some merging/deleting does not work as expected.

If there is a mode change, then yes, it should be shown. Something like "Table
insert mode: Use <Cursor> to insert rows/columns, use <Ctrl>+<Arrow> to insert
cells, press ESC to abort." But David knows better the terminology and the key
markups.
