Hi,

We have a lot of org-table specific functions bound in org-mode-map whether or not the point is actually in an org table.

Reference[1].

Is there a specific reason to have those bindings available globally in an org mode buffer?

To prevent that, I have come up with this[2].

The idea is to use context-aware key mapping[3]. Also the info node: "(elisp) Extended Menu Items".

Here is what binding "C-c SPC" looks like when using the bind-keys macro from bind-key.el[4].

(bind-keys

:map org-mode-map

:filter (org-at-table-p)

("C-c SPC" . org-table-blank-field))

Below is the same without bind-key.el dependency:

(define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c SPC")

'(menu-item "" nil :filter

(lambda (&optional _)

(when (org-at-table-p)

'org-table-blank-field))))
