I am not sure I understand take the following example

| 3 | 8 | ^ |
| 4 |   |   |
| ^ |   |   |

So I put the cursor ^ either below the 4 and press C-c + but
then I am informed that a 0 will be inserted (using F10
(which is bound in my setting to C-y))
the same happens when I put the cursor besides the 8
