Another way to implement Birkir's solution would to only include the extra buttons if the user selects an option indicating they want to change the format of the table. Think of that as being more a mobile paradigm, here certain features are hidden on the UI until you click an Edit button
Thanks,
Tim

I would advocate for Jonathan's approach over Birkir's. Birkir's would add
2x(number of cols)-2 tab stops to the page, and would be burdensome for
people who use the keyboard vs a screen reader to navigate. Jonathan's
could be tucked into another page or modal window.
