tablook

less for tabular data, with csvless command as example

library

you can look on your [][]string data by:

tbl, err := tablook.New(some_data)
// remember to handle errors
err = tablook.Show()

full example in example/simple.go

standalone command for csv files

just go get github.com/komosa/tablook/cmd/csvless and then you can:

• pipe csv data to csvless (eg. from John Kerl's mlr tool)
• open your csv files with csvless filename.csv

keybindings

key	behaviour
q	quit app / returns from Tab.Show()
arrows	scroll view
j/k	move highlighted line down/up
h/l	change selected column to one on left/right side of current one
d	deletes selected column (or start over with all visible instead of removing the last one)
