When writing markdown in vim one of the really anything things to handle is markdown tables because whenever you change the width of any column it breaks the entire structure, but what if there was an easier way and it turns out that there is and that is with the Vim Table Mode plugin which adds basically a mode to work with tables.

Combine this with vim-orgmode and you basically have orgmode in vim. Not every feature is there, like you can't put functions in your table as if it was a spreadsheet, which you can do in emacs orgmode. Well you can do it in vim-tablemode but it isn't structured the same way as orgmode spreadsheets are. But still, it's powerful. Way more powerful than markdown, even though the syntax is almost exactly the same between the two formats.

I'm logging my working hours in a text file. Was searching for a possibility to do simple calculations and didn't find anything. And you release two days later this video. THANK YOU! This helps a lot. And yes therefore simple spreadsheet calculations a perfect.

This is such a great plugin. I hated doing tables in vim when writing in Markdown. But this actually has been life saver doing exams at home

Hey, thanks for making this video.

My response on few things / issues you highlighted :

* Regarding overriding of configurations, the correct way to do that would be to override them in an `after/ftplugin/markdown.vim` file within your vim configuration (or nvim, same applies). I believe this is documented, but I will have to recheck.
* Regarding the speed of the plugin when using auto align feature, you can tweak that using the `g:table_mode_update_time` configuration. You can also manually trigger realign using a mapping for `:TableModeRealign`
* All the functionality is built into separate autoloaded files, so if you aren't using specific features, such as spreadsheet capabilities, those would never even be sourced by vim unless you use them.

Thank you for reviewing this plugin. It seems like it could use a minor refactor, but it's been something that I had been hoping exists for when I start to write more markdown and use pandoc conversion.

Also, note that you can probably change the `b:` variables in (or for vim), and this will take effect after the ftplugin stuff in the plugin.

Cheers

I feel like vim is constantly trying to catch up with emacs. This video proves my point

My favourite vimwiki functionality (that isn't part of it's core feature set as a wiki) as an extra plugin and really polished seems perfect. This definitely takes the crown over plugins like easy align or tabularize that is kinda dead but integrates well with markdown plugins. Thanks for showing me this, I wasn't aware of it's existnace.
The spreadsheet functionality could be hit or miss. I think I'd prefer that functionality seperate

Just one day late
Needed to make markdown tables this morning :(

[senninscorpion]

idc what anyone says, this text editor is better than that operating system.

[محمّد.]

does this plugin work on txt files or only markdown?

[mvargasmoran]

I think Emacs does a better job, but having this in vim looks great.
