- `Text Tables: Go to next cell` - switch to next cell in current table.
- `Text Tables: Go to previous cell` - switch to previous cell in current table.
- `Text Tables: Clear cell` - clear cell under cursor.You can access all of the above commands from the command pallete (Ctrl+Shift+p or Cmd+Shift+p)
## Table mode
Table mode is the mode where some of the default keybindings have another action assigned.
To enter table mode you may execute command `Text Tables: Enter table mode` from command palette or press Ctrl+q Ctrl+q shortcut to toggle mode. To control whether you're in table mode or not, see the icon in the status bar of Visual Studio Code:

When in table mode, Tab and Shift+Tab keybindings will navigate next/previous cell accordingly.

## Keybindings
- Ctrl+q f - format table under cursor.
- Ctrl+q space - clear cell under cursor.
- Ctrl+q Ctrl+q - toggle table mode.### In table mode
- Tab - navigate to the next cell in table.
- Shift+Tab - navigate to the previous cell in table.### Custom keybindings
Extension introduces additional `tableMode` when-clause that you may use to define your own keybindings when in table mode.
Sample keybinding:
```json
{
"key": "tab",
"command": "text-tables.gotoNextCell",
"when": "tableMode"
}
```## Settings
This extension introduces some settings that you may setup in your user settings or workspace settings.
Available settings:
- `text-tables.mode` - sets the type of tables. Valid values are: `org` and `markdown`.
- `text-tables.showStatus` - controls whether to show or not status item for table mode.## Contribution
