  The programmer can not know what this spreadsheet or platform is.

  But often it might be Microsoft< Excel and Microsoft< Windows.

  So:

      The application, whenever possible, should offer a
      +Windows L&F2 and

      The Windows L&F should behave like Microsoft< Excel
      in this regard.

>1. What does the user to do trigger a cell edit?

  In Excel, a keyboard user would use [F2].

>What does he do to edit the next cell over?

  I do not know the meaning of +to edit something over2,
  so I will ignore +over2 and answer:

|What does he do to edit the next cell?

  (If he is editing a cell right now: )Terminate the edit mode.
  Move to the next cell.
  Activate the edit mode as before.

>2. what does the user to do delete a row?

  Select the row.
  Issue a delete-row command via a menu.

>3. what does the user do to insert a new row?

  Select a row.
  Issue a insert-row command via a menu to insert 
  a row above the select row.

  In Excel, the above can be done via mouse, keyboard,
  or programmatically, via a macro (in VBA).
