What kind of completion do you expect and isn't currently available?
Not that I use any of these, but there's also this plugin https://github.com/vhyrro/neorg
I think the table completion is on their todo-list, they still didn't implement it. What I would like is a way to start creating a table like that:
| foo | bar |
Then hit something like maj+enter, and that would escape, create a new line, and drop me in insert mode like that:
| foo | bar |
|-------|-------|
| x | |
And when I insert a text inside a cell and I go back to normal mode, the entire table would be re-indented:
| foo | bar |
|------|--------|
| really long thing | short |
Would became (when I hit enter)
| foo | bar |
|---------------------------|---------|
| really long thing | short |
And ideally, there could be text-objects like "cell" to use as a usual text-object (like dic
deletes the content of a cell and reformat the table)
Vimwiki has this feature. You could add that or yoink the logic into a dedicated plugin.
What? I'm looking for a special kind of completion, that I only ever saw in emacs orgmode: table completion ( you tab inside a markdown table and it is completed foe you)
Why? Vim is about repeatable atomic edits, but it just doesn't work with tables. A smarter completion is required in these cases.
Potential existing implementations: There is an orgmode plugin for neovim that I didn't try, but I don't need all this functionality.
*Potential pitfalls:* One of the things that could be challenging is detecting when you're inside a table. Also, this could mess up with the tab completion. Maybe emacs way of doing it is not the best idea for neovim. Maj+enter could be a good keybinding for that. And I have no idea how that could integrate with treesiter.
