Working with Tables in VimWiki
•
1 minute read
VimWiki provides a bunch of commands for quickly and easily working with tables.
Navigating a Table
In insert mode, you can navigate a table with <CR> and <Tab>:
| Command | Description |
<CR> |
Go to the table cell beneath the current one, create a new row if on the last one. |
<Tab> |
Go to the next table cell, create a new row if on the last cell. |
If you’re on the last row of a table, and you hit <CR> to go to the next
cell, a new row will automatically be created for you.
Editing Tables
The outside and inside selection commands (a and i) all work as expected. So
if you wanted to change the contents of a table cell, you could do so with ci\
where c is for change, i is for inside, and \ is for the current table
cell.
| Command | Target |
|---|---|
\ |
Cell of a table |
c |
Column of a table |
So if ci\ will change the contents of a cell, cic will change the contents
of a column.
Similarly, you can move columns around using your arrow keys and the <A> (option) key:
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
<A-Left> |
Move the current column to the left. |
<A-Right> |
Move the current column to the right. |
