Word users are disappointed: There is no exact equivalent of the F4 (repeat last command) in InDesign.

Instead, most InDesign users get equivalent speed by creating and applying styles (paragraph styles, character styles, object styles, table and cell styles). Many things can also be applied repeatedly by learning to use the Eyedropper tool.

Sorry I don't have a better answer for you but for most InDesign users, splitting table cells is a relatively rare event.

It's possible that you might be able to get a script written to do what you're looking for. A Google search for Custom Indesign Scripting will turn up many scripts which already exist for InDesign that may be adaptable to your needs as well as people out there who will write custom scripts for a price. It may be worth a look.

Quick Apply was the answer, now it's way worse with CC 2019, you have to make an extra button click or hit the arrow key, it wont remember the last stile you set.

So annoying!!!

There is absolutely no change in the way Quick Apply works between CC 2018 and CC 2019. This feature hasn't changed for many versions.

I just tested it and it seems to work fine in CC 2019 on a Macintosh.

Please try to describe what you think it's doing. Cmd-Return/Ctrl-Enter brings up Quick Apply. Typing the first couple letters selects the paragraph style/character style. Pressing Return/Enter applies the change.
