history

Project history and usage

Sheets is an interactive terminal spreadsheet and command-line CSV manipulation tool.

Project history

Maas Lalani developed Sheets as a terminal-based spreadsheet tool, combining Vim-like navigation with command-line reads and updates of spreadsheet cells and ranges.

The project later documented Helix-style TOML keybinding customization, allowing users to override individual bindings without replacing the defaults.

Adoption history

Sheets is distributed through Homebrew and MacPorts and can also be installed with Go or downloaded as a release binary.

How it is used

Running sheets with a CSV file opens the terminal interface. Users can also read a cell or range, assign values from command-line arguments, or pipe CSV data through standard input.

The TUI supports modal navigation and editing, formulas, selections, undo and redo, and commands for saving or opening files.

Why package nerds care

Sheets brings a traditionally graphical productivity format into terminal workflows. Its combination of a TUI and scriptable cell/range operations is useful for developers who want to inspect or modify CSV data without leaving the command line.

Timeline

Current project era: The official repository documents interactive editing, formulas, command mode, and configurable keybindings.

Related projects

Its interface draws on modal terminal editors: navigation is Vim-like, while configurable keybindings use a Helix-style TOML format.
