Description

I find Typora (http://typora.io/) has a good table input method. It is written in JavaScript.

The GUI is being like this.

I do not like its design to hide markdown text, but its table formation tool is quite cool.

I hope we can insert a new table, or select the table content and then edit it with a plugin like this.

Research direction

The issue references Typora's JavaScript table input method and includes a GUI screenshot, but names no MacDown files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the referenced interaction and MacDown's current table-editing behavior; done would require an agreed design for inserting and editing Markdown tables without hiding the source text.
