in org-mode, is there a command to select the entire text in one column in one row? I know i can move to the beginning/set-mark/goto the end of the column. But i am wondering if there is one command already for that.
I asked the question in the org-mailing list. I was pointed to this function which does what I needed: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2016-05/msg00240.html
(defun org-table-mark-field ()
"Mark the current table field."
(interactive)
;; Do not try to jump to the beginning of field if the point is already there
(when (not (looking-back "|\\s-?"))
(org-table-beginning-of-field 1))
(set-mark-command nil)
(org-table-end-of-field 1))
org-mark-element
(bound toM-h
), which will select a whole row of a table. – Juancho Dec 30 '16 at 13:33
