[ESC] to select entire table

There are times when you need to select the entire table in order to copy and paste it somewhere else (either as a new table or view). A way to select the table quickly using the keyboard is by hitting the Escape key. Click anywhere inside the table and hit Escape and you will automatically select the table:

The alternative (although slower method, in my opinion) is clicking on the link icon to the right of the table title:

Do you have other methods for selecting your tables?

FYI the Escape key no longer can select the table for you. Now it’s more intuitive where you can drag and and select your table similar to many other online editors. To move your cursor above and below the table, you can just use your Up and Down arrows keys. Hope this makes your table selection even better!

Can you copy and paste tables across docs?

Hi @Julienne_Franco, you can indeed copy/paste tables across docs, but you’ll have to check the formulas in the destination table since they may contain links to the source doc.
