/table insert leaves focus inside the first header cell instead of after the table widget #663
Description
Description:
When inserting a table via the /table slash command, the editor focus is moved into the first header cell of the newly inserted table. The expected behavior is for focus to land after the table block widget, so the user can continue typing in the body of the note without first escaping the table.
Steps to reproduce
- Open any note in ZenNotes.
- Type /table and select the table slash command.
- Observe where the cursor/focus ends up.
Expected behavior
Focus should be placed immediately after the newly inserted table block widget, leaving the table empty but not active.
Actual behavior
Focus is placed inside the first header cell of the table, requiring an extra key interaction (e.g. Esc or arrow navigation) to exit the table and continue writing.
Additional context
This affects the keyboard-first flow because /table interrupts note writing instead of acting like a passthrough block insert.

Fixed on the
v2.36.0release branch in24448dc.The slash command left only one newline after the generated GFM table. The next text typed on the apparent continuation line was therefore parsed as another table row, which rebuilt the widget and displaced the DOM selection. The insertion now reserves a real blank separator and a continuation line, including when content already follows the insertion point.
