Subject: Request for comment: Adding feature to calculate Org table reference from selected text region
Date: Sat, 19 Oct 2024 17:28:35 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <95CE1447-FC08-431A-9CA1-83B4C3F77BA7@gmail.com> (raw)

Hello folks!

I recently made a blog post describing a means of calculating an Org table reference from a selected text region or rectangle. I think this feature is compelling enough to put into Org itself and as such I am raising this idea with this group to gauge interest.

This idea and its implementation are detailed in http://yummymelon.com/devnull/referencing-org-table-cells-with-text-regions.html

I'm happy to respond to any feedback on this idea here. Also to clarify, I'm much more interested in feedback for the idea and less so on its current implementation. It is my hope that if the idea of it is appealing enough, an optimal implementation can be made by this group.

Thanks and best regards -

Charles
