Yes. Oyma includes an interactive visual table editor. You can insert columns, drag-to-resize, reorder rows, and align text visually, while Oyma writes beautifully formatted pipe table syntax to your Markdown file.

The Pain of Manual Markdown Tables

Writing tables in standard Markdown is notoriously cumbersome. Aligning pipe characters (|), counting hyphens, navigating between cells with arrow keys, and inserting a new column in the middle of a 10-row matrix is frustrating in raw text editors.

Oyma combines the elegance of a spreadsheet interface with the permanence of plain text.

Visual Table Controls

When you click on any Markdown table in Oyma:

  • One-Click Insertions: Click the + buttons at the edge of the table to insert a new row above/below or a new column to the left/right.
  • Tab Key Navigation: Press Tab to navigate to the next cell; pressing Tab in the final cell automatically creates a new row.
  • Column Alignment Menus: Click any column header to toggle left, center, or right alignment indicators (:---, :---:, ---:).
  • Row & Column Reordering: Drag row or column grip handles to rearrange sequences visually.

Perfectly Formatted Markdown Output

While you interact with a responsive graphical table, Oyma saves clean, beautiful pipe table text to your .md file:

| Feature | Status | Target Quarter |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| ScreenCaptureKit | Shipped | Q3 2026 |
| Whisper CoreML | Shipped | Q3 2026 |
| Visual Tables | Shipped | Q4 2026 |

If you open the file in VS Code, GitHub, or terminal cat, the columns remain neatly formatted and perfectly readable.

Advanced Table Manipulation Shortcuts

The visual table editor includes productivity shortcuts designed for power users:

  • Keyboard Column Resizing: Press ⌥ while dragging column borders to resize all columns proportionally.
  • Cell Content Wrapping: Long URLs and multiline descriptions wrap cleanly within cells without breaking table formatting on disk.
  • Tab & Enter Navigation: Use Tab to advance across columns, Shift+Tab to move backward, and Enter to create a new row immediately below your current cursor.
  • Clipboard Table Parsing: Copy data from Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, or Apple Numbers and paste directly into Oyma—the editor converts tab-delimited spreadsheet rows into clean pipe table Markdown automatically.

Table Formatting Cleanliness Invariants

When saving visual tables to disk, Oyma automatically balances padding spaces so that raw Markdown files remain visually aligned when inspected in terminal pagers or simple text editors. You get both visual convenience in the UI and clean ASCII formatting in raw files.

Keyboard productivity is front and center:

  • Press Tab to navigate to the next cell; in the last cell of the table, Tab automatically appends a new row.
  • Press Shift+Tab to move to the previous cell.
  • Use ⌘⌥Up and ⌘⌥Down to swap table rows vertically without cutting and pasting text.
