If you start editing a cell in a JTable the behavoiur is different when you start editing by keyboard or by mouse.
If the editing is started by double-clicking on the cell in the JTable the user gets an anchor and can change the text in the usual way.

If editing is started by pressing a key on the keyboard, the pressed character is added at the end of the cell and there is no anchor
visible. The only thing you can do is type new characters after the last character or press backspace to delete the last character.
This is very strange and unwanted !!

We would like a simular behaviour like the "mouse-like" editing.
