Hello.

Just for clarity, the second step is to type: M-x table-insert RET
Then, of course, hit RET to accept all of the defaults.

I believe it's a bug.
'C-h v table-cell-map RET' shows at the end that the bindings are to
'j', 'm', 'I' and 'i', and not to their printed representations.

I attach a patch that adds a missing '?' to all those characters, in
table-cell-bindings.

Best regards,
Mauro.
