TableSteward makes the core Table block easier to edit. It does not add a new block: your tables stay core Table blocks, and the saved HTML is exactly what WordPress itself saves. If you deactivate the plugin, your posts keep working.

  • Press Tab and Shift+Tab to move between cells. Press Tab in the last cell to add a row, unless the table has a footer.
  • Press Enter to move to the cell below. Press Enter in the last row to add a row, unless the table has a footer. Shift+Enter still inserts a line break.
  • Hover a row or column to show its handle. Click the handle to insert, move, align, or delete.
  • Drag a handle to reorder rows and columns. The other rows and columns move aside as you drag, so you can see the new order before you drop.
  • Hover a line between rows or columns, or the bottom or right edge of a table, and click the round + button to insert a row or column there.
