Features
Open Any Spreadsheet
Open CSV, TSV, Excel (.xlsx, .xls), and LibreOffice Calc (.ods) files as interactive tables without leaving your editor.
Edit Cells
Double-click any cell to edit its contents. Press Enter to save or Escape to cancel. Start typing on a selected cell to immediately begin editing.
