Tabular

A terminal-based CSV editor with vim-like keybindings.

Philosophy

Tabular is not a spreadsheet. It's a focused tool for editing tabular data:

• Vim-inspired: Modal editing, registers, counts, visual modes - if you know vim, you know tabular
• Minimal: Does one thing well. No charts, no pivot tables, no macros
• Fast: Opens instantly, handles large files, stays out of your way

Install

cargo build --release
cp target/release/tabular ~/.local/bin/
