**This project is functional but future development will be sporadic and
limited. For a more fully featured CSV viewer/spreadsheet app check out the**
`Visidata project `_.

The highlighted position is shown in the top-left corner of the screen; next to
it are shown the contents of that cell.
Features:
---------
* Python 3.4+
* Spreadsheet-like view for easily visualizing tabular data
* Vim-like navigation (h,j,k,l, g(top), G(bottom), 12G goto line 12, m - mark,
' - goto mark, etc.)
* Toggle persistent header row
* Sort ascending or descending by any column. Dynamically change column width and gap
* Sort in 'natural order' to improve numeric sorting
* Full-text incremental search, n and p to cycle between search results
* 'Enter' to view the full cell contents
* Yank cell contents to the clipboard
* File can be reloaded in-place if the data changes.
* F1 or ? for keybindings
* Can also use from python command line to visualize any tabular data (e.g.
list-of-lists)
* See the screenshots directory for some pictures.
Requires:
---------
* Python 3.4+
* Xsel or xclip (Optional - only required for 'yank' to clipboard)

Usage:
------
* From command line:
.. code:: python
tabview
tabview --start_pos 6,5
tabview +6:5 (equivalent to previous usage)
tabview --encoding iso8859-1 +6:
* From python command line to view an object
.. code:: python
import tabview as t
a = [["a","b","c"], ["d","e","f"]]
t.view(a)
* From python command line to view a file
.. code:: python
import tabview as t
t.view(, start_pos=(60,40))
* Using as the pager for MySQL. Set these options in ~/.my.cnf::
pager=tabview -d '\t' --quoting QUOTE_NONE -
