i am surprised emacs doesn't have this already emacs seems more like the right place for this
that being said, i think the spreadsheet being a separate command line tool make more sense, i dont understand why integrate it into the shell
nushell or pwsh, might make use of a spreadsheet view, since they pass or stream objects not text , but still the spreadsheet should be a separate program
in pwsh you can
Out-GridView
between nushell and pwsh, i think pwsh is the way to go, only drawback it required dotnet installed, nushell being more standalone beat it on this
well, its a convention , it makes it easier to guess the command name, and considering in pwsh you have hundreds of commands, finding the command can be a challenge
pwsh have autocomplete and command to help you find other commands
pwsh is actually more unixy than unix, it have more specialized commands in linux you have bigger command, commands that do at lot, and take a lot to learn
pwsh is a great idea, implemented very nicely, i dont see any major flaws , except poor adoption on linux .. and of course dotnet dependency
a native pwsh would be amazing
nushell has `open file.xlsx | explore --peek` which can be used to interactively select a cell contents from an Excel spreadsheet and pipe it into another command. It would be cool if there were similar tools for editing table data.
See also the `inspect` command... I feel like they could add a lot of neat Smalltalk-like interactivity (Bret Victor-level observability)
