Obsidian-table-click-blocker

Prevents cursor jumping when clicking on markdown tables in Live Preview This plugin is designed for those who dislike Obsidian's default behavior with Markdown tables. Specifically, when you are in "Live Preview" and use the "Find" feature, if text is found inside a Markdown table, the table is rendered as if it were in "Source Mode." However, if you double-click the text inside the table (for example, for copying purposes), it automatically switches to "Reading Mode," causing an annoying "cursor jump."
