  • Csvlens: Command line CSV file viewer. Like less but made for CSV
    7 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 6 Jan 2024
    While not built around CSV, two terminal spreadsheet tools I have successfully used in the past are sc-im and the (neo)vim plugin vim-table-mode:

    https://github.com/andmarti1424/sc-im/

    https://github.com/dhruvasagar/vim-table-mode

    Back then I stopped using sc-im because it could not import/export XLSX, if I remember correctly. Apparently it can today!

    vim-table-mode always felt a little fragile and I don't want to be bound to vim anymore. That said, it still feels like a small miracle to me to have functional spreadsheet formulas inside markdown documents – calculation and typesetting all in one place.

  • Wrap long lines in markdown tables

    Use the grid_table extension of markdown, which many renderer such as pandoc support. You can also use Vim Table Mode in conjunction. I regularly use it to keep my tables human readable.

  • Vimwiki + Preview-Markdown
    4 projects | /r/vim | 18 Jul 2022
    On its own it does very little -- not much else besides making the links work. I use the author's wiki-ft.vim alongside vim-table-mode to accomplish more or less what Vimwiki used to. Wiki.vim is far more supportive of other filetype plugins than vimwiki is.
