[Tex/LaTex] Visual table editor for linux

editorstables

Is there any visual LaTeX-table editor for linux? I want something where I can load existing LaTeX-tables, modify them and save it in LaTeX.

The first three are probably your best bet for existing latex tables. Using emacs table editing mode is probably the best choice going forward if you are familiar with emacs...

Lyx 1
Kile 2
Texmacs 3
Emacs Table Editing Mode -> Org-export or Pandoc -> Latex 4

[Tex/LaTex] Which text editor to make tables scripts human readable

I am very happy with vim and the tabular plugin. To align the table, place the cursor anywhere inside the (nonaligned) table and type :Tabularize /&. The result is a nicely aligned table.

Before:

moon&456456456423423534&2342523
sun&234324&3453

Then a :Tabularize /&, after:

moon & 456456456423423534 & 2342523
sun  & 234324             & 3453

If you need this often, you can assign a custom shortcut for this.

[Tex/LaTex] visual editor for LaTeX that allows for graphical editing of the layout elements (like margins, headers etc)

Kaveh Bazargan at River Valley Technologies made an attempt at something like this with a program called Batch Commander. He presented it at TUG 2010, and Ricardo Lafuente had a presentation at the Libre Graphics Meeting also in 2010. The videos are available online:
