Yes, Emacs and Org could do this. You would need to let a table's formulas be recalculated at each insertion (see post-command-hook). That said, those demos are shiny when watching for a few seconds, but we you really edit a buffer, you don't really want text that is *not* under point to change at each insertion. This is tiring. At least this is how I feel it. -- Bastien
