Tables

Insert a table from the slash menu with Table. It starts as three by three. There is no markdown shortcut, and tables cannot be nested inside each other.

Rows and columns

Hover a table to show a handle above the current column and beside the current row. Click a handle to select that row or column and open its menu; drag it to reorder.

The menu holds Header row or Header column, Color, Insert above and Insert below, Duplicate, Clear contents, and Delete. The last row or column cannot be deleted; delete the whole table from its block menu instead.

Click the thin rail below the last row or beside the last column to add one, or drag it to add several, up to twenty. Drag a column boundary to set its width, or use Fit to width from a cell menu to stretch the table across the page.

Header rows and header columns are independent, and any row or column can be a header.

Moving around

Tab moves to the next cell and Shift+Tab to the previous one. Tab in the last cell adds a new row. The context-menu key opens the cell menu from the keyboard.

Copying cells

Drag across cells to select a rectangle. Ctrl+C or Ctrl+X (Cmd+C and Cmd+X on macOS) copies it as tab-separated text and as an HTML table, so it pastes into a spreadsheet. Pasting a grid into a cell fills outward from that cell and grows the table to fit. Pasting a copied HTML table outside a table creates a new table.
