  • I have searched for existing issues that may be the same as or related to mine.

Would it be possible to support editing org-mode tables within orgzly? currently opening tables (esp ones that don't fit the narrow vertical phone screen is a little ugly and unfunctional.

I realise it's probably well outwith scope, but I would love to have some sort of rich editing that saves automatically to org formatting.

The probably slightly more realistic request would be to add an option to have a scrollable window - i.e. to not break lines?
This would be similar to adding # -*- eval: (visual-line-mode nil); -*- to the top of the file working in emacs - maybe it could hook into that?

And add pixel perfect table alignment
like this: https://github.com/casouri/valign.

Because some languages' scripts can't have monospaced fonts (e.g. Arabic, Faresi And I think Japanese and Chinese).

With character alignment you would never get an aligned table.

رقم الأسبوع الأحد الإثنين الثلاثاء الأربعاء الخميس الجمعة السبت

The table above looks like this in the code:

| رقم الأسبوع | الأحد | الإثنين | الثلاثاء | الأربعاء | الخميس | الجمعة | السبت |
|-------------|-------|---------|----------|----------|--------|--------|-------|
|             |       |         |          |          |        |        |       |

And there is no way to align it in org-mode.

There are attempts to make monospaced Arabic fonts, But they are early in development, And the characters are wider then the English "-" so org-mode would have to support tables with an arabic "-", But intil then, This is the only solution.

And gui tables make more sense in a touch screen UI anyways.
