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
2 In the org-file, with the cursor at the place for a new table,
type
C-y to yank the data
C-x C-x to activate the yank as the region
C-c | to convert the region to a table.
I guess this is easy enough?

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?
