Configurable
- Choose between MultiMarkdown or GitHub Flavored Markdown table format in the settings. (personal preference, MultiMarkdown is default)
- Disable features if you don't like them (toolbar buttons, contextmenu items, hotkeys).
- This also makes this plugin compatible with other plugins that use the same hotkeys or equally named contextmenu items.
- Change how
TabandEnterbehave or disable them separately.

All actions are relative to where you placed the I-beam (also called I-cursor) in the text editor. This includes hotkeys.
Once you place the I-beam, simply select one of the actions from the menu (see Tools → Table tools), click a button from the toolbar, or press a hotkey.

Insert <br> instead of newline |
Cmd or Ctrl + Enter |
Insert row below |

All of these actions can also be performed from the menu (e.g. Tools → Table tools → Row → Insert below).
🐛 Known issues
Broken dialogs
(Click to see how it's supposed to look like...)
Every now and then the plugin swallows up its dialogs. There doesn't seem to be anything I can do to fix this.
If that happens to you, click "Cancel" and try again.
Also, if this happens all the time, you can enable these (working) dialogs in the advanced settings and they'll show up whenever feasible:
Only every second table gets formatted
It could be that only every second table gets formatted, when you click Format all tables.
If that happens to you, click Format all tables twice or format each table with Format table.
Right-click doesn't do anything in text editor
This can happen sometimes, especially if you change settings.
Try to restart Joplin.
