Adding new line in cell in a table in Notes on iPad without physical keyboard

How do you return a new line to a cell inside a table in Notes when using the iPad without keyboard?

Using Return goes to the next row or adds a new row. With a physical keyboard you’d use Cmd + Return, but the iPad virtual keyboard doesn’t have Cmd for some reason.

To remove the table and convert its contents to text, tap a cell in the table, tap the Convert Table to Text button, then tap Convert to Text.
