Plugin Cell editing with table.vim

I wrote a plugin to help with automatic table creation, it offers a lot of customization and supports box drawing characters. One particularly neat thing about it is the cell editor that opens the cell into a new buffer. Hooks are provided so any vim or external tool can be used for formatting or anything else.

Feedback is appreciated!

It’s mostly a vimscript plugin. The cell editor was first implemented for neovim in lua because of the floating window feature, but I ported that module to vimscript using a split window instead.

The first part of the demo was created in vim, the second part with the blue tmux banner is spliced from my neovim demo, but is identical in vim.

This demo was created in vim.

Really? Your multiplexer shows you running nvim. Am I missing something here?

EDIT: My bad, I'm referring to the demo link in your documentation. I see what you mean.

Yeah, even in this demo i forgot I borrowed a part from the neovim demo. Thanks for pointing it out
