Sorry for the late reply.

I don't have a clear opinion yet on what would be the best way to
notify the user of the directive to change the gridediting behaviour.
Showing a tooltip every time you hover over a cell seems a bit too
much, showing it only once per session can be missed, of course. But
showing it more/longer can get anoying, so showing it just once seems
like the best way to do it.
I also like the idea of having a 'shortcuts' page, we can have both, I guess.
