ted - Terminal Table Editor

TED is an editor for editing tabular data, like CSVs. It's like a spreadsheet without the calculation logic. It's inspired by Vim and was developed to easily update CSV files without leaving the terminal.

This project is still in it's early phases, and on a bit of a slow burn in terms of development. I tend to only work on it when I use it, which is not very often. However, it's still in a form of maintenance so feel free to use it and post feedback.

Downloading

For those with Go:

Usage

ted [FLAGS] FILE

Flags:

• -c <codec> the format that the file is in. Either csv or tsv files are supported. Default is csv

File can either be a new file, or an existing file.

TED is similar to Vim in that it is modal. After opening a file, the editor starts off in view mode, which permits navigating around.
