Source Code

;; Defined in /usr/src/emacs/lisp/org/org-table.el.gz
;;; The Orgtbl minor mode

;; Define a minor mode which can be used in other modes in order to
;; integrate the Org table editor.

;; This is really a hack, because the Org table editor uses several
;; keys which normally belong to the major mode, for example the TAB
;; and RET keys.  Here is how it works: The minor mode defines all the
;; keys necessary to operate the table editor, but wraps the commands
;; into a function which tests if the cursor is currently inside
;; a table.  If that is the case, the table editor command is
;; executed.  However, when any of those keys is used outside a table,
;; the function uses `key-binding' to look up if the key has an
;; associated command in another currently active keymap (minor modes,
;; major mode, global), and executes that command.  There might be
;; problems if any of the keys used by the table editor is otherwise
;; used as a prefix key.

;; Another challenge is that the key binding for TAB can be tab or \C-i,
;; likewise the binding for RET can be return or \C-m.  Orgtbl-mode
;; addresses this by checking explicitly for both bindings.

;; The optimized version (see variable `orgtbl-optimized') takes over
;; all keys which are bound to `self-insert-command' in the *global map*.
;; Some modes bind other commands to simple characters, for example
;; AUCTeX binds the double quote to `Tex-insert-quote'.  With orgtbl-mode
;; active, this binding is ignored inside tables and replaced with a
;; modified self-insert.
