sorry, Lauri, this looks really promising, but I haven't been able to get it to work in Numers'09 v2.3(554) on 10.8.3… I've tried pasting the defaults write into terminal, and pasting the result of printf %b '\0'|pbcopy & also dragging the NUL character into xcode… but no dice! each time, i'm ensuring that numbers is closed, and saving the plist before opening numbers… could you confirm the version of numbers this is working for? tx for yr persistence!

You can use printf %b '\0'|pbcopy or drag it from the Unicode view in CharacterPalette.

I am: opening the plist, adding a key 'Add Column After' (string) then I've tried a couple of options: empty string, Ctrl-Shift-2, 'NULL', then opening numbers hoping that Add Column After will no longer work.. what am i missing? tx :) | |

Escape sequences like \0 only work in old-style property lists. You can use � in an XML plist or a literal NUL character in Xcode's property list editor.
