Tab and Enter do not create new columns and rows

[L0verde]

Describe the bug
Version 0.20.0
Tab and Enter do not create new columns and new rows respectively.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open Settings > Third-party plugin
   Make sure Safe mode is off
2. Click Browse community plugins
3. Search for "Advanced Tables" -> Click Install
4. Close the community plugins window and activate plugin
5. Close Obsidian then right click on the app to "quit"
6. Once reopened create a new note add a title then enter
   | test then press either tab or enter and it just tabs the | test over

The advanced tables UI recognizes the | test as a table and lets me use it to edit the table but that's not really a solution I want to have to rely on.

Expected behavior

Hotkey	Action
Tab	Next Cell
Shift + Tab	Previous Cell
Enter	Next Row

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Mac OS Sonoma 14.2.1
• Obsidian Version: 1.5.3
• Advanced Tables Version: 0.20.0

Additional context
I tried turning all other community plug-ins off to fix the issue but that didn't help.

Live preview was on which isn't supported! Everything is working fine now.

@MockingMockingBird I believe tab and enter used to work with live preview on in pre v1.5 of releases of Obsidian. v1.5 adds a new table editor natively which also has tab actions. Advanced table plugin's auto-formatting (on tab and enter) stopped working for me (in live mode) right after I updated to Obsidian 1.5.3. It still works as expected with live mode off.

Suspecting if the behavior reported here is related to the table editor in Obsidian 1.5. JFYI.

I changed my mode live preview to source mode still same.

I had same problem. I solved it by turn off 'Show Indentation Guides' and live preview.

Just disabling live preview seems sufficient to enable the tab and enter key behavior for Advanced Tables. Enabling or disabling Show Indentation Guides does not seem to have any effect on the behavior of these two keys. With live preview enabled tab and enter keys do not automatically format the table as they used to previously.

OS: MacOS Sonoma 14.4
Obsidian Version: 1.5.11

Rolling back to version v0.19.1 can solve this problem

Rolling back to version v0.19.1 can solve this problem

Is there a way to rollback from the Obsidian app or do I have update the plugin folder manually?

Any solution for this feature? Like we can use another Hotkey for this plugin, use Shift+ENTER/TAB instead? this plugin is better than native embeded table function.
