org: Column view

 
 7.5 Column view
 ===============
 
 A great way to view and edit properties in an outline tree is _column
 view_.  In column view, each outline node is turned into a table row.
 Columns in this table provide access to properties of the entries.  Org
 mode implements columns by overlaying a tabular structure over the
 headline of each item.  While the headlines have been turned into a
 table row, you can still change the visibility of the outline tree.  For
 example, you get a compact table by switching to CONTENTS view (ā€˜S-<TAB>
 S-<TAB>ā€™, or simply ā€˜cā€™ while column view is active), but you can still
 open, read, and edit the entry below each headline.  Or, you can switch
 to column view after executing a sparse tree command and in this way get
 a table only for the selected items.  Column view also works in agenda
 buffers (SeeAgenda Views) where queries have collected selected
 items, possibly from a number of files.
