For regular text, I can select a region and do M-x fill-paragraph and that works fine, but for Org-Mode tables, I cannot do that. Yes, I know about M-x org-table-wrap-region , I have tried to use it for a few hours, read the manuals, read pages that talked about it and I was unable to get it working. 2) As a user, I'd also really appreciate M-x RET to work better. Currently if I go somewhere on a line and run that, the text until the end of that line is deleted and prepended to the start of the next line. So, by doing that, I solved the length of the text on the current line, but now I moved the problem to the next line, where the text is again longer than it should be. 3) I've used C-c ` a few times and tried to make sense of it. As far as I can tell it only works for one line. For me personally, in order for C-c ` to be useful, I would expect it to work on the entire table cell, not just one line in the table cell. These are my suggestions for improvements. I welcome feedback on them. Thanks for taking the time to read this
