Before we'll have #6276 let's have simple items in the row and col dropdowns to achieve the same result.

Steps required to achieve above:

• create commands for selecting column or row
  • commands should work with collapsed selection inside table cell
  • commands should work with multi-cell selection
  • commands should be disabled when selection is outside table or a whole table is selected
• create UI buttons for given commands
• tests
• API docs (in code), feature docs (what commands are available)

Tricky parts (needs tests): spanned cells. I'd go with simplest solution and emulate with a command behaviour of what would user do with mouse. So no "smart" selections that would select more then selected table cell's parent row:

would select:

This task might be split to two task (for each command) this way we can review earlier and probably those commands will not share code (will share with other commands).
