Cell brings Vim-style spreadsheet editing to terminal
Cell is a Rust-based terminal spreadsheet editor that combines Vim-style navigation with Excel-like formulas, making it useful for power users who live in the shell. It can open CSV, TSV, and native `.cell` files, and it also supports headless read/write/eval operations for scripting and automation.
// ANALYSIS
A genuinely practical terminal spreadsheet is more than a novelty here, because Cell is designed around workflows that already live in the CLI.
- –Vim keybindings lower the friction for anyone who already edits text in terminal tools.
- –CSV, TSV, stdin piping, and custom delimiters make it fit cleanly into shell pipelines.
- –Headless mode is the standout feature: you can read cells, evaluate formulas, and write values without launching the TUI.
- –Native `.cell` files and Excel-style references give it enough spreadsheet semantics to be useful, not just a viewer.
