Doesn't M-S-<down> do that? In the context of a table, it ends up
calling the function org-table-insert-row. If you want a single
key (e.g. a function key) to do that, you can bind it directly
to this function. Of course, simulating multi-cell input like this
breaks the table model and might cause difficulties in other places,
but you can always try it and see how far you can push it.
