+# Project Title
+
+Joplin Rich Text Editor Tables Keyboard Shortcuts Plugin (RTET)
+
+## Author
+

+
+## Description / Overview
+
+I like markdown, but I use tables in the Joplin Rich Text Editor a lot because 
+they do a lot of things that the markdown tables don't, like easier 
+navigation, properly aligning things with Japanese characters, etc., easily
+selecting the contents of a whole cell, etc.
+
+Unfortunately, there are very few key shortcuts for common things like insert 
+row, swap rows, delete row, etc. and all the cool plugins only work on 
+Markdown, so I have to mouse to the table toolbar every time, which really
+slows things down. This adds a dozen commands to your `Options` -> `Keyboard Shortcuts` 
+that you can set to your own liking.
+
+Once you realize you can treat a Table as a mini spreadsheet (really a tiny 
+database) there are a ton of things you can use them for.
+
+## Usage
+
+Once you've installed the plugin, you should get a `Tools` -> `Rich Text Editor Table` 
+submenu with a dozen things you might want to do with a table.
+*It is not intended you use them from this menu* - that would just be slower
+than using the table toolbar! But by adding them to a menu and giving them
+ridiculous shortcuts like Ctrl-Alt-Shift-F1, Joplin will add them to 
+`Options` -> `Keyboard Shortcuts`. 
+
+There's no point to this plugin if you don't assign the ones you use a lot
+to your own keyboard shortcuts.  Once you're in the Keyboard Shortcuts list
+type 'RTET' into the filter box at the top to see them all. You can clear
+the ones you don't care about if you want.
+
+## Commands
+
+The commands can be grouped into Table, Row, Column, and Cell.
+
+Most of them do what you'd expect from the name, I'll add comments where
+there are any other gotchas.
+
+**Table**
+Name | Comments
+---  | ---
+Add 2x2 Table | Adds a blank 2x2 Table inline. Then you can add Rows and Cols.
+
+**Row**
+Name | Comments
+---  | ---
+Insert Table Row Above | Blank row 
+Insert Table Row Below | Blank row 
+Cut Current Table Row | Cuts to the Rich Text Editor's clipboard, which is not shared with Joplin's clipboard. Also works as Delete!
+Paste Cut Table Row Above This Row | Must be one cut with 'Cut Current Table Row'
+Swap Table Row Below | Quickly swap two rows 
+
+**Column**
+Name | Comments
+---  | ---
+Insert Table Column Left | Blank column
+Insert Table Column Right | Blank column
+Cut Current Table Column | | Cuts to the Rich Text Editor's clipboard, which is not shared with Joplin's clipboard. Also works as Delete!
+Paste Cut Table Column Left of This Column | Must be one cut with 'Cut Current Table Column'
+Swap Table Column Right | Quickly swap two columns
+
+**Cell**
+
+You may think this is overkill, but a lot of my work with Tables is Japanese
+translation, and being able to copy / paste a cell with a single keystroke is
+a huge time-saver. Once you realize you can treat a Table as a mini spreadsheet
+(really a tiny database) there are a ton of things you can use them for. So
+here's the whole cut/copy/paste trinity!
+
+Name | Comments
+---  | ---
+Select Current Table Cell | Select the whole cell but don't do anything else
+Select Current Table Cell & Copy Text | Copy the cell text to system clipboard
+Select Current Table Cell & Cut Text | Cut the cell text to system clipboard
+Select Current Table Cell & Paste Text | Replace the cell text with system clipboard text
+
+
+## Limitations
+
+Joplin keeps the Rich Text Editor (tinyMCE) at arms length with lots of
+barbed wire and a bleak no-mans' land between them. So what we can do to
+the Rich Text Editor Tables is limited to what's in this:
+   https://www.tiny.cloud/docs/tinymce/latest/editor-command-identifiers/#core-table-commands
+You can see I've made most of this available, and did the Cell Select
+stuff with some hax. So most other features you might want (like why
+is there no 'Swap With Row Above'?) are because of this. I can't just 
+move the cursor around tinyMCE arbitrarily!
