create a csv editor #1644

Open williamstein opened 7 years ago

williamstein commented 7 years ago

If you click on a csv file, instead of opening in codemirror, open in a very, very, very simple "spreadsheet" grid view, which allows for structured editing of the csv file.

This could be done fairly easily using https://github.com/paulhodel/jexcel

The hard parts are:

parsing the text file to give it to the editor
saving changes to the file
updating so that there is realtime sync (multiple users at once).

I'm adding the "high" flag, because this just came up again. The main constraint is to be able to open large CSV files, because just the usual editor is not working with large enough files.

workaround: vim in a terminal, or calc/gnumeric in an X11 desktop
