Yes, it is. I should read the manual more often to discover cool features like that! Btw, org-table-convert-region is also bound to C-c |, which would make the steps: - select data in firefox - C-y C-x C-x C-c | Thanks a lot, Bernt! You see, that's the other reason I posted: I knew if I had overlooked a much faster way, someone would point it out to me :) - Jan _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
