I am used to the usual org's flexibility in tables and in head= ings, and therefore it seems strange having to quit and reenter column mode= to do these changes. It would be an interesting experiment to have real Org tables which get/s= et their rows from the headings in the subtree and their columns from the p= roperties of these headings. You would then have all the usual features of = tables: formulas, edit fields (properties in this case) in a new buffer, = =E2=80=A6 Mmm=E2=80=A6 maybe that table/heading/columns mix would be too complex. Anyway, do you also need to enter/quit column view many times? How do you= use it comfortably? Daniel
