Hey there!
Im a doctor who’s using this addon to study for competitive exams, i absolutely love this for the amount of time it reduces for me to make and edit tables.
absolutely loving this add-on
is there a way to change the default font so that its not always on times new roman, i keep having to change the font and it feels a little annoying because even when i come to edit a table it reverts back to times new roman
usually text you input into the anki editor doesn’t have a information about the fonts used set. How it looks in the editor depends on what you’ve set in the window that opens if you click the fields button. How it looks during reviews depends on what you’ve set in the card templates window in the styling section. If you change these setting the appearance for all notes or cards will change.
It’s similar in my addon window. the fact that text is shown with the times new roman font doesn’t mean this font info will be written into the note itself (unless you modify the font info in my window).
If you really can’t stand to look at times new roman in my addon window: I’m not at a machine where I have anki installed but in the settings of my addon there should be an option to set the font that’s used in my addon window to show content (if i remember correctly). After changing it make sure to restart anki.

I came here for the same issue. I want the column widths to auto-adjust 
But from what I’ve seen in many comments, there are no plans to fix this or add the option to the add-on.
I wonder if they’ll eventually try to solve it.
As far as I see you can already do this in most cases, at least the following worked for me mostly (as long as there are only relative widths used in the table etc.):
When my addon window is open and your cursor is on a table. Go to the “Table” menu, click on the entry “Table properties”. Then in the center of the window an overlay named “Table Properties” should open. In the “General” section there’s an entry named “Width”. I deleted all text in the width box and clicked save. Then the width of the table was minimized.
I know it’s not a perfect solution, e.g. it’s not working when you have certain absolute widths values in your html code, you have to redo these three clicks after changing the table … But this is a solution that you can try and hopefully use now.
the question is not about having plans to add this feature but about limited time …

– Leaving this to help others view my mistake, for some reason after updating Anki to latest version, it updated a lot of addons but not “Extended editor” and was showing this error, all i had to do is go to addon manager and “Check for updates”, it recognized the update for “extended editor” and after restart, button showed up no problem, shortcut works againm, no error, even after activating all the other addons (and i have a lot) –
Anki encountered a problem..

@JuanZamC thanks for the report. the problem occured because you had the old addon version in the new anki version. about a month ago i uploaded a fix for this problem as a new addon version. and in general on all update checks (including the one that runs automatically aufter updating) you should be offered the latest version of my addon. So that’s strange. But as an addon author I can can only set the compatibility info for the addon.
My new addon version should also work on older anki versions. so I just lowered the threshold for the newer addon version in the compatibility info on the addon listing - hopefully this means more people are also on the latest, future-proof verstion of my addon when they switch to more recent anki versions

The ability to edit the default table properties would be great.
Thanks

When copying/pasting tables, the aligment setting have to be manually adjusted (align left vs in the middle).
Anyway to have default style settings when copying/pasting? I have tried using CTRL + V and CTRL + SHIFT + V with no success
this would require modifying the inner works of the js editor I bundle. At the moment I don’t have time for this. For me pasting the table from some sources works as expected. Maybe pasting into the anki editor and only then opening this extended editor window helps.
