Lately, I've been creating a lot of tables from text from text files
containing a mix of English text and columnar data (the stuff I'm
importing). This is pretty easy to do in org-mode: save the columnar
data to a temporary file and then run M-x org-table-import. But it
would be even easier if I could import the data without the temp file step.
One way to do this could be to add a new function,
org-table-import-from-kill-ring:
1. In the original text file, copy the tabular part into the kill
ring with C-w or equivalent
2. In the org file, with the cursor at the place for the new table,
type M-x org-table-import-from-kill-ring
Another way could be to add a new function, org-table-import-to-kill-ring
1. In the original text file, select the tabular data and type M-x
org-table-import-to-kill-ring
2. In the org file, put the cursor where you want the table and type C-y
Or, maybe there are more clever ideas?
