Bastien Guerry tweeted about a really awesome new Org-mode feature:

The latest #emacs #orgmode (from the master branch) allows you to turn on M-x org-table-electric-header-mode RET to always keep the first row of your table in sight. pic.twitter.com/E3Bpw1G3a1 — Bastien Guerry (@bzg2) January 31, 2020

A little further down in the thread, Guerry notes that, “As of this morning, it’s now called M-x org-table-header-line-mode RET” so if you’re living on the edge, use that name instead.

He doesn’t say when it will be officially released but since it’s in Master the next release will probably have it. This isn’t, of course, a huge deal but it does eliminate one annoying aspect of working with tables. Now you can lock the header in place and be able see what each column means. Very nice.
