Add improved navigation, formatting, and manipulation to markdown tables in Obsidian:
- Auto formatting
- Excel-like table navigation (tab/enter between cells and rows)
- Spreadsheet formulas!
- Add, remove, and move columns and rows
- Set column alignment (left, center, right)
- Sort rows by a specified column
- Automatically use monospace font when editing tables
Note: The Obsidian API is still in early alpha and this plugin may break at any time!
When a cursor is in a markdown table...
| Hotkey | Action |
|---|---|
| Tab | Next Cell |
| Shift + Tab | Previous Cell |
| Enter | Next Row |
| Ctrl + Shift + D | Open table controls toolbar |
Or use the command palette and search "Advanced Tables". There are many commands available, don't forget to scroll!
For more information on using formulas, visit the Help Docs.
From Obsidian v0.9.8+, you can activate this plugin within Obsidian by doing the following:
- Open Settings > Third-party plugin
- Make sure Safe mode is off
- Click Browse community plugins
- Search for "Advanced Tables"
- Click Install
- Once installed, close the community plugins window and activate the newly installed plugin
You can follow the same procedure to update the plugin
