Fill the table with space between the rows and the whole area

tables

I have a problem and I would like to display my table in a slightly different way. First of all, I would like to have a little more space between the individual rows and furthermore, the table is very much centred/pressed to the left. I would like to have the table take up all the space so that it looks a bit better like in the picture below. Moreover, the table is not aligned with the text.
How can I do this?

Code

\chapter*{Heading}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Heading}
\markboth{Heading}{Heading}

\lipsum[1-1]

\begin{table}[H]
    \begin{tabular}{lll}
        Tokyo, 14.02.2022 &  & sig. Michael Test  \\
        (Plate, Date)           &  &  (Signatur)   \\          
    \end{tabular}
\end{table}

What I want

The first row should start aligned with the text

The following should get you started:

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}

\lipsum[1-1]

\vspace{2cm}
\noindent
    \begin{tabular}{@{}p{0.7\linewidth}l}
        Tokyo, 14.02.2022 &   sig. Michael Test  \\[10pt]
        (Plate, Date)           &    (Signatur)   \\          
    \end{tabular}


\end{document}

You can remove that gap either issuing

\setlength{\abovecaptionskip}{-12.75pt}

or (after loading caption)

\captionsetup[table]{aboveskip=-12.75pt}

Note that both the above commands affect only the code that follows them, so you can simply put them after you start with the appendices.

MWE

\documentclass[a4paper, 12pt, headsepline, smallheadings,]{scrreprt}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage[showframe]{geometry}
\renewcommand*{\chapterheadstartvskip}{\vspace{-1\baselineskip}}
\begin{document}
\setlength{\abovecaptionskip}{-12.75pt}
\chapter{Chapter}
\begin{table}[h]
\caption[title table 1]{description table 1}
\fbox{content}
\end{table}
\chapter{Chapter}
aaa
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Table with gap between cmidrule’s (extra space between two columns)

The only way to break the horizontal rule would be to insert a separate column (as you suggest), or to marginally trim the \cmidrules using the optional (..) specification:

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{booktabs}

\begin{document}

\begin{tabular}{l c c c c}
  \toprule
  & \multicolumn{2}{c}{Text1} & \multicolumn{2}{c}{Text2} \\
  \cmidrule{2-3} \cmidrule{4-5}
  & A & B & A & B \\
  \midrule
  Foo & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 \\
  \bottomrule
\end{tabular}

\bigskip

\begin{tabular}{l c c c c}
  \toprule
  & \multicolumn{2}{c}{Text1} & \multicolumn{2}{c}{Text2} \\
  \cmidrule(lr){2-3} \cmidrule(lr){4-5}
  & A & B & A & B \\
  \midrule
  Foo & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 \\
  \bottomrule
\end{tabular}

\bigskip

\begin{tabular}{l c c c c c}
  \toprule
  & \multicolumn{2}{c}{Text1} & & \multicolumn{2}{c}{Text2} \\
  \cmidrule{2-3} \cmidrule{5-6}
  & A & B & & A & B \\
  \midrule
  Foo & 1 & 2 & & 3 & 4 \\
  \bottomrule
\end{tabular}

\end{document}

Adding space in the column specification using

\begin{tabular}{l c c@{\hspace{1cm}} c c}

inserts 1cm between columns 3 and 4, but would require you to correct alignment when using \multicolumn without providing the gap.

I don't think inserting an empty column is that bad. You could actually control the width of the column to provide a finely-tuned spacing of the \cmidrule separation. Something like

\begin{tabular}{l c c c@{\hspace{1cm}} c c}

Would give a gap of exactly 1cm between columns 3 and (now) 5.
