If I need to mark the region in question, I could stick with kill-rectangle and friends. The point is not to mark the column. org-table-delete-column does not need the mark, so my hope is that this code could be somehow generalized. I played a bit around with that function but so far no success. regards Uwe Brauer

That is cool, thanks, unfortunately some of my tables contain horizontal lines, but this is not really very essential for me. > HTH,

Is this so difficult > to implement? Some time ago I wrote this function: (defun mw-org-table-mark-column () "Mark the column containing point. This works only in org tables. For tables with horizontal lines this function can fail." (interactive) (unless (org-at-table-p) (user-error "Not at a table")) (org-table-find-dataline) (org-table-check-inside-data-field) (let* ((col (org-table-current-column)) (beg (org-table-begin)) (end (org-table-end))) (goto-char beg) (org-table-goto-column col) (re-search-backward "|" nil t) (push-mark) (goto-char (1- end)) (org-table-goto-column (1+ col)) (re-search-backward "|" nil t) (exchange-point-and-mark))) If you do M-x mw-org-table-mark-column followed by C-x SPACE in a table-cell you (hopefully) the column gets marked.

[O] feature proposal. Kill and yank columns
Hi I know that I can delete columns but I miss a function which would *kill* a column, put it in the some ring (or register) and paste it. I do this my marking the content of a column and use kill-rectangle and yank-rectangle but I find such a solution which needs the mark, cumbersome. I goggled around and found for example proposals as in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22002374/how-to-select-a-column-of-a-table-in-emacs-org-mode Which is basically the same I do. Or in http://orgmode.org/worg/org-hacks.html#field-coordinates-in-formulas Which seems complicated. It also seems a subject which comes up regularly. Is this so difficult to implement? Thanks and regards Uwe Brauer
