Version?

Feature

Describe the feature you want to suggest.

I'm not sure if any of these features are configurable, but I haven't found anything related to them: -Ability to ctrl+z if I press on the header title by accident (or a way to disable sorting by clicking on it) -When I paste a new row, I don't want the program to auto scroll to the last column -When I insert a new empty row and select it, let's say I want to paste a few new rows from another csv file, I want to paste them without overwriting the rows below the empty line. -When I ctrl+a ctrl+c, I want the header to be copied as well (it helps a lot when I do a text comparison)

Bonus: Not sure if this is a bug, but the Edit csv button is not visible for some csv files. Attached example. chat_rules.csv

Your chat_rules.csv files works just fine for me. Make sure that CSV is specified as the language mode in the bottom right-hand corner. Maybe some other extension is changing the file language to be something other than csv?

Ability to ctrl+z if I press on the header title by accident (or a way to disable sorting by clicking on it)

Why ctrl+z? Click twice more on the header and the sorting will be undone.

When I paste a new row, I don't want the program to auto scroll to the last column

What it should do instead?

When I insert a new empty row and select it, let's say I want to paste a few new rows from another csv file, I want to paste them without overwriting the rows below the empty line.

If I'm not mistaken, the current behavior is the same as in Excel. However, I understand that a true insert can sometimes be useful. Maybe a setting or a new entry in the context menu for cells.

When I ctrl+a ctrl+c, I want the header to be copied as well (it helps a lot when I do a text comparison)

I suggest not using a header and instead freezing/fixing the first column (3rd icon from the right).

Thanks for the response! You are right, for some reason it wasn't detected as a CSV.

Why ctrl+z? Click twice more on the header and the sorting will be undone.

I didn't know about it, works perfectly now.

What it should do instead?

Stay at the currently active/selected row. I'm coming from Windows (Ron's Editor) and this behaviour is slightly annoying. It also glitches at the last line, keeps scrolling up/down by 1 line and when I select the last row, 2 gets selected instead and it jumps to the end of the row where I don't see the text.

Please consider adding this. I use it a lot and I have to manually create empty lines when I want to paste something.

I can't really do anything about the "glitching", it's a problem with handsontable (library used for the table). It only occurs when the cells are very long (and may have something to do with wrapping).

I will look into the pasting behavior.

There will be two new options:

New cells can now also be created when pasting.
