Are there keyboard shortcuts for adding columns and rows in a draw.io table?

I make a lot of database schemas with draw.io but it's annoying to create new rows in the table having to go to the drop down and select the add row icon. Are there any keyboard shortcuts in draw.io to make that task easier?

It would be nice if it was as simple as alt+down or alt+up or something like that.

How to draw right angle connectors and endpoints with draw.io

I would like to draw electrical circuits with right angles in connectors, but I am not able to see this option in draw.io, they are always rounded.

Most circuits have right angles ... A simple example http://wpcontent.answcdn.com/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/67/Resistors_in_series_and_parallel.svg/195px-Resistors_in_series_and_parallel.svg.png

As endpoint (see example above), I am using right now a BPMN start icon

Connecting to Google Drive using Draw.io

When I open draw.io, it does not connect to my Google Drive, and when I click on the button Connect to Google Drive, a pop-up window appears for a fraction of a second and then disappears. The result is that I cannot access all my drawings.

I have tried with both Firefox and Windows IE, and experienced the same thing in both. I then logged-in to Google Drive and tried to open one of my drawings with draw.io, but it does not work (stuck loading)

Is this a wider issue than just with my account?

How can I check/uncheck mockup checkboxes in Draw.io?

I'm doing some UI mockups in Draw.io and I was wanting to customize the appearance of some of the built-in shapes.

I'm using the Checkbox shape from the Mockup Forms library and it is not checked by default; I would like to check it.

Similarly, the Checkboxes shape is a box containing 4 checkboxes, the 3rd one being checked:

  1. How can I change the checked item to be the first item?
  2. How can I add or remove other checkboxes to this list?
