This is similar to the way I've done it before. It makes it cumber= some if there are many lines below the cell that is to be inserted though..=

It would be nice to have as a function that inser= ts or deletes a cell in the same way as one can insert and delete rows and = columns. Maybe as a prefix to=A0M-S-<left/right> and M-S-<up/down&= gt; ?

** Go to "@2$2"--i.e. where the "4" used to be.

* Emacs OrgMode makes all of this easier since it lines everything up
for you by "covering down" the columns (org-table-align)---making= all
the cells easily edited by the usual "rectangle-killing" and
"rectangle-yanking" methods.
** The method above can be generalized for editing OrgMode tables
regardless of the number of symbols in the cells--since OrgMode aligns
them for you; and, EMACS is restricted only by the amount of RAM in
your computer.
*** Also, if you want to edit gygabyte size files, using similar
methods, I highly recommend QEMACS.
