Powerful Markdown table editing and authoring tools for Visual Studio Code.
Markdown Foundry makes working with tables fast and ergonomic — align columns, navigate between cells with Tab, insert and reorder rows and columns, sort data, and paste links or images with a keystroke.

Features
Table editing
Align table — Clean up any table with one command. Columns line up, alignment markers (:---, :---:, ---:) are preserved, and escaped pipes inside cells round-trip safely.
Navigate with Tab — Tab moves to the next cell, Shift+Tab to the previous. Tab on the last cell adds a new row.
Enter adds a row — Enter inside a table moves to the first cell of the next row, creating one if needed.
Insert / delete rows and columns — From the Command Palette or bind your own keys.
Move rows and columns — Reorder without retyping.
Sort by column — Sort ascending or descending. Numeric columns are detected automatically.
Convert selection to table — Select pasted CSV or TSV data, run the command, get a formatted Markdown table.
Insertion commands
Paste Link — If the clipboard contains a URL, wrap the selection (or prompt for text) and insert [text](https://github.com/dvlprlife/Markdown-Foundry/blob/HEAD/url).
Paste Image — Save the clipboard image to a configurable folder and insert a Markdown image reference. Windows only in v0.x; macOS and Linux support is tracked in #4 and #5.
