AFAIK, there is no such feature for tables that is built-in.
I also do not recall any package doing something similar.
You may need to write your own helper command and maybe hook it to
org-shiftright-hook / org-shiftleft-hook.
Ok, I have a partial solution:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun my/org-cycle-status ()
"Cycle through custom status values in the current table column."
(interactive)
(let* ((current (org-table-get (org-table-current-line)
(org-table-current-column)))
(statuses '("TODO" "TO_BE_SENT" "SENT" "TO_BE_PAID" "PAID"))
(next (or (cadr (member current statuses)) (car statuses))))
(org-table-put (org-table-current-line) (org-table-current-column)
next)))
;; Add to hook for functions attaching themselves to ‘S-right’
(add-hook 'org-shiftright-hook 'my/org-cycle-status)
#+END_SRC
| Invoice Date | Invoice # | Amount | Status |
|------------------+-----------+--------+--------|
| [2025-03-02 Sun] | INV01 | 2400 | TODO |
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Obviously the problem is that I lose the ability to shift columns.
Is there a free keybinding in orgmode I could associate this helper? Or
is there any way I could have it not interfere with the column shift?
Thanks.
Cheers,
