Hi Carsten I use the table feature in org-mode daily to keep a log of incoming work requests. These requests have a 16-digit ID based on date such as the first row/column in the example below. Sometimes I want to copy the same ID to the line below, but S-return gives the result in the second row:
|------------------+----| | 2008090910000121 | 10 | | -2147483648 | 11 | |------------------+----| This is presumably due to integer overflow. Secondly, I sometimes want to duplicate the cell which contains a simple integer such as 10 without it being incremented to 11 (although the auto-increment is also very useful). I don't really want to start setting org-table-copy-increment one way or the other as I'd use both types of copy equally. Two ideas: A) Could the table copy feature be altered to do a string-type copy if integer arithmetic is overflowing or wrapping round? And/or B) Could there be some keystroke to ignore integer increment and just treat the number as text? Would 'C-u 0 S-return' do the trick or has someone got a more elegant combination? C-S-return might also be a candidate, although it currently seems to mimic C-return and call (org-insert-heading-after-current).
