On of the things I need to do for the manual about ConTeXt is a list of the
most frequently used commands. I am using some macros to display them
correctly in a table. Attached a strange effect I got. The second row is
displayed wrongly. The third is the same row, but with a \crlf added. This
displays correctly. But I am wondering why it is needed.
Attached the tex and pdf files.

Use “align=right” for the first column.

I changed:
\setupTABLE[c][1][width=.35\textwidth]
into:
\setupTABLE[c][1][align=right, width=.35\textwidth]
But it does not change anything. (It is the right place I think, because
when using left, or center the formatting changes. But not in a way that is
satisfactory. With center the text stays in the box, but not with left and
right.)
Also it overrides the:
\setupTABLE[r][1][align=center, style=bold]
(The align, not the style.)

Then set the alignment with \bTD in your \StartTable command or just use normal table commands.
\startsetups mytable
\setupTABLE[header][align=middle,style=bold]
\setupTABLE[start][align=normal]
\setupTABLE[c][1][align=right,width=.30\textwidth]
\setupTABLE[c][2][width=.70\textwidth]
\stopsetups
\starttext
\bTABLE[setups=mytable]
\bTABLEhead
\bTR \bTD[nx=2] The most important commands \eTD \eTR
\eTABLEhead
\bTABLEbody
\bTR
\bTD \type{\completecontent} \eTD
\bTD This generates a Table of Content. Should be the first statement of a document. \eTD
\eTR
\bTR
\bTD \type{\startchapter[title=chapterName]} \eTD
\bTD Starts a chapter with the named title. Is ended with \type{\stopchapter}. \eTD
\eTR
\bTR
\bTD \tex{startchapter [title=chapterName]} \eTD % space needed!
\bTD Starts a chapter with the named title. Is ended with \tex{stopchapter}. \eTD

I think it is an obscure bug. If I take your code but change the following:
\setupTABLE[c][1][align=right,width=.35\textwidth]
\setupTABLE[c][2][width=.65\textwidth]
I have the same problem.
