Show HN: A terminal spreadsheet editor with Vim keybindings

forgive me if I'm missing something obvious, but is there any plan to add jumping to a specific row? Usually when I scroll and find the row I'm looking for, I'll just nG there (where n is the row I found), which in vi-esque editors will jump to that specific line.

Looks great something I want to check out. For comparison anyone share some built-in tools to pretty print-only the csv? Usually what I need to start but formatting is quite off.

I've been using https://github.com/medialab/xan for anything csv. It's the best tool there is for reading and analyzing csv files, but not for writing them. Something like cell-sheet-tui would fit my workflow very well, since I am using neovim to edit csv files manually (as well as some csv merging features offered by xan to simplify the process).The reason why I find your software promising is because dealing with csv in plain text is very disorienting with the inconsistent horizontal cell space. A csv-aware text editor would help a lot there with two issues in particular:- not having to set commas manually, especially not having to count them between empty cells- being able to navigate using h/j/k/l between cells instead of having to get creative with vim-motions on plain textOP, if you're reading this:I would greatly appreciate if this tool could focus on the writing experience and less with anything formula engine related, since xan is already a very performant tool for that, even at large data sets. Replacing or even competing with xan seems very difficult in my eyes, considering both tools are targeting a similar audience (rust, minimalist, and performance), which makes me think cell could focus more on the writing experience, like I said.There are some bugs I countered right away and I'll get to open issues in due time. Thanks for making this and I hope I can replace neovim with cell for anything csv in the future!

I was working on something similar a while back (https://github.com/xi/spreadsheet) but ended up not using it. I just didn't end up being the first tool that came to mind when I was reaching for a spreadsheet. Not sure why.I will definitely try out your tool and check if it works better to me.Two random thoughts:- In excel I often use the dragging feature, i.e. use a formula like $A2 + B$1 and then drag it in both directions. Does your tool have something similar?- Another nice feature are visualizations. In my tool I added a bar() function that renders a value between 0 and 1 as a bar in the cell. Not sure how flexible that is, but I did have some fun with it.

Nice. I've been using https://github.com/andmarti1424/sc-im for a while now. It would be great with a comparison.

This is great. I often want a low-latency, minimal-feeling option for this sort of thing. (And I get to use my Vim muscle memory less and less often these days!)Really, thanks for making and sharing this; so far, I feel calm and happy when I'm using it.

Looks very nice at first glance.I have been looking for something like this for a long time.
Maybe this has some potential to become somewhat popular.

Pretty cool project! Congrats.QQ: does it support programmatic cell access/modifications?Eg `cell file.cell --write A2 "42"` or `cell file.cell --read "=SUM(A1:A10)"`? Couldn't surmise that from the glimpse I gave the README, but it would be pretty cool for scripting stuff.

Was initially hopeful that this would rather than have A..B..C... and 1..2..3... for columns and rows would instead have one creating categories à la Javelin/Lotus Improv/Quantrix/Flexisheet --- give me that, and have a dynamic system for displaying a pane of formulae and one would have a _very_ nice tool.

Cool project!The Vim modal model feels almsot native for spreadsheets, and splitting the formula engine into a TUI-free core was prolly a great architectural choice.How are you thinking about recalculation, dependency tracking, and undo/redo as the sheet grows, especially once multi-cell edits and larger CSVs start stressing the core?
