Sometimes it's handy to paste a cell's text into something that isn't an org-table (my use case was: record a macro to perform some silly updates in bbdb, once per table row). My quick-and-dirty solution was the following: --=-=-= Content-Type: application/emacs-lisp Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable (local-set-key (kbd "")=20 (lambda () (interactive) (org-copy-special) (kill-new=20 (substring-no-properties (car (car org-table-clip)))))) --=-=-= Content-Type: text/plain but I believe a "copy cell to kill ring" would be a nice Org feature to add (maybe bound to C-u C-c C-x M-w). Before digging any further, may I please ask for opinions and advice: would it make sense for you too? not worth it? or is this already possible with some different keystroke? Thanks in advance, kindest regards. Andrea --=-=-=--
