This feature is already available by using the clipboard:

- mark a cell range
- Edit/Copy (Ctrl+C)
- set the cursur to the insert position
- Edit/Paste Special... (Ctrl+Shift+V)
- In Paste Special Dialog select Shift cells Down or Right
- press OK button

Not all of the feature is accessible through
menus/right-click. For
example, the sections:

1.3.2.1 Insert Move D&D to Same Row/Column
1.4 Insert Move Drop of Whole Columns in Same Table

do not currently work using what you described, or am I
wrong?
