set-keys in orgtble mode

set-keys in orgtble mode

[Eric Schulte]

Hi,

I very much enjoy using orgtble mode, however there are some functions
which I run over and over org-table-delete-column, and
org-table-insert-row, etc... it is not clear if there is a way to
define key mappings such that they only take effect inside of tables.
Would it be possible to do this using the familiar
local/global-set-key syntax?

Should I write my own orgtble-hijacker-command-### functions?

Also, is there a good way to display the available table commands
other than grepping the org-mode help?

Thanks for the great tool!
Eric

That would be M-S-<left> and M-S-<down>, can't you use these keys?

To add your own keys, you can do something like this, in orgtbl-mode- 
hook.

(org-defkey orgtbl-mode-map "\C-cd"
             (orgtbl-make-binding 'org-table-delete-column 1001 "\C- 
cd"))

Note that you need to give the key twice, and the 1001 should be a  
unique number.
Instead of org-defkey, you can use define-key.  org-defkey is the same,
only that it obeys the variable org-disputed-keys.

Looking at the menu, it contains a pretty much complete list of  
commands.
Or how about the refcard?  Pretty complete, too.

Hi Carsten,

Thanks for the pointers, currently M-S-<left> and M-S-<down> are
intercepted by my window manager (xfce), but the

form looks very manageable.

Much Appreciated,

I actually should modify this so that it is not required to give the key
again at the end....  Will do so.

Ooops, no, this is not possible.  Please ignore my last message.
