For Notepad++
alternative to making the macro is to import the one i have already created by editing the shortcuts.xml file for notepad++ and adding this macro inside the <macros> section.

Code:

       <Macro name="make table" Ctrl="no" Alt="no" Shift="no" Key="0">
            <Action type="0" message="2316" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" />
