I do not think that there is a command for that. For pushing the
row, it is trivial just write the new cell
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
| 4 | 5 | 6 |
| 7 | 8 | 9 |
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
| 4 | here|5 | 6 |
| 7 | 8 | 9 |
becomes
| 1 | 2 | 3 | |
| 4 | here | 5 | 6 |
| 7 | 8 | 9 | |
after C-c C-c
For pushing the column, you can use kill-rectangle after inserting
another row
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
| 4 | 5 | 6 |
| 7 | 8 | 9 |
TAB on the 9 cell
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
| 4 | 5 | 6 |
| 7 | 8 | 9 |
| | | |
Move below and to the right of the 8
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
| 4 | 5 | 6 |
| 7 | 8 | 9 |
| | <cursor here>| |
C-<space> there, select until the left of the 5
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
| 4 | <cursor here>5 | 6 |
| 7 | 8 | 9 |
| | | |
And then C-x r k, which cuts the rectangle, should get you to
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
| 4 | | 6 |
| 7 | | 9 |
| | | |
move one cell down and use C-x r y
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
| 4 | | 6 |
| 7 | 5 | 9 |
| | 8 | |
Finally, C-c C-c, gives you what you want
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
| 4 | | 6 |
| 7 | 5 | 9 |
| | 8 | |
Best,

Jorge.
