Hi,
is there a quick way for moving a cell about in a table? I enjoy
swapping the order of rows and columns in a table using Meta +
[arrow], but I have not found a ways of doing the same for a single
cell. Is it possible?
Example, with the cursor on '2' in the following table
| A | B | C |
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
| x | y | z |
and pressing [move cell left] would give me
| A | B | C |
| 2 | 1 | 3 |
| x | y | z |
Thanks!
Hi Carsten
I fail to see the use case for this.
I have come across two use cases lately where I have been missing this feature: 1) in a timetable, swapping a cell or two, e.g., the title of a talk and the speaker, with next week's values; and 2) making a seating plan for a social event. In the latter, moving people about quick and easy is nice.
Yes, this can
be useful sometimes, and you can use `C-c C-x C-w' and
`C-c C-x C-y' to cut and paste individual fields or
even rectangular regions.
Ok, thanks, I did not know about these.
But for pushing a cell value
to a neighboring cell, I don't see a frequent use that
would call for a special command beyond what I listed above.
Do you?
I agree that it is not a frequent operation.
For the seating plan, I ended up with lots of post-it notes on a wall, which worked just fine! :)
Thanks again!
Martin
