Makes the core Table block easier to edit: move between cells with Tab and Enter, and add, move, or delete rows and columns from handles.
About this plugin
TableSteward makes the core Table block easier to edit. It does not add a new block: your tables stay core Table blocks, and the saved HTML is exactly what WordPress itself saves. If you deactivate the plugin, your posts keep working.
- Press Tab and Shift+Tab to move between cells. Press Tab in the last cell to add a row, unless the table has a footer.
- Press Enter to move to the cell below. Press Enter in the last row to add a row, unless the table has a footer. Shift+Enter still inserts a line break.
- Hover a row or column to show its handle. Click the handle to insert, move, align, or delete.
- Drag a handle to reorder rows and columns. The other rows and columns move aside as you drag, so you can see the new order before you drop.
- Hover a line between rows or columns, or the bottom or right edge of a table, and click the round + button to insert a row or column there.
