Hi Carsten Every time I use org's tables I am amazed at how powerful and easy they are. There are just a couple of annoyances that I repeatedly come across, and which I thought I'd better report.
* minor niggles concerning tables ** org-table-toggle-coordinate-overlays This is great, but it is less useful than it might be because it uses the notation A1, B2, etc, whereas the canonical notation (as used by org-table-eval-formula and in the TBLFM line) is @1$1, @1$2. This introduces quite a cognitive load in translating between the two, especially since one is row-major while the other is column-major. ** numbers like "1.e3" I am in the (lazy) habit of omitting the zero after the decimal point in scientific notation. This causes no problems in most programming languages, or for calc.el, but it is misinterpreted in table formulae. Is it possible to easily fix this?
