NAME

       sc-im - A curses based, vim-like spreadsheet calculator

SYNOPSIS

       sc-im [OPTION]... [FILE]

DESCRIPTION

       sc-im Is a curses based spreadsheet calculator program with vim like key bindings.

       SC-IM is a spreadsheet program based on SC

       A spreadsheet is an interactive computer application program for organization and analysis
       of data in tabular form. Spreadsheets are developed as computerized simulations  of  paper
       accounting  worksheets.  The  program  operates  on data represented as cells of an array,
       organized in rows and columns. Each cell of the array is a  model–view–controller  element
       that  can  contain  either  numeric  or  text  data,  or  the  results  of  formulas  that
       automatically calculate and display a value based on the contents of other cells.

       The user of the spreadsheet can make changes in any stored value and observe  the  effects
       on  calculated values. This makes the spreadsheet useful for "what-if" analysis since many
       cases can be rapidly investigated without tedious manual recalculation. Modern spreadsheet
       software  can  have  multiple  interacting sheets, and can display data either as text and
       numerals, or in graphical form. SC-IM uses ncurses for visual interface and  has  vim-like
       keybindings and some functional similarities with vim text editor.

OPTIONS

   Input Control
       FILE   The input file from where to read the spreadsheet.

       --sheet=SHEET
              Open SHEET when loading xlsx file. Can be sheet name or number. Default is '1'.

   Version
       --version
              Print  the  version  number  of  Sc-im and exit.  It also shows which features were
              enabled when Sc-im was compiled.

   External scripts
       --nocurses
              Run interactive but without ncurses interface.

       --output=FILE
              Save the results in FILE.

       --quit_afterload
              Quit after loading all the files.  Useful when sending scripts to SC-IM.

       --quiet
              Set variable 'quiet'. Avoid printing info/error/debug messages.

   Other configuration variables
       --autocalc
              Set variable 'autocalc'. Recalculations occur automatically.

       --numeric
              Set variable 'numeric'. A digit  starts  a  numeric  value  instead  of  a  command
              multiplier.

       --half_page_scroll
              Set variable 'half_page_scroll'. <c-f>, <c-b> and other scroll mappings scroll half
              page instead of full page.

       --newline_action=VAL
              Set variable 'newline_action' VAL to j to move the cursor down after an entry.  Set
              to l to move the cursor right after an entry.

       --external_functions
              Set variable 'external_functions'. Enable external functions.

       --xlsx_readformulas
              Set  variable  'xlsx_readformulas'.  SC-IM will try to import formulas, rather than
              the final values of a cell.

COLOR SUPPORT

       Most terminals are able to display 256 colors these days. But some of them enable only  16
       colors by default. To enjoy sc-im's full capabilities, these terminals need to be signaled
       to enable 256 color mode. This is usually done by setting the TERM environment variable.

       export TERM=xterm-256color

KEYBOARD CONTROLS

       h, j, k, l, Arrow keys
              Move between cells.

       PgUp, pgDn
              One page UP or DOWN.

       gg     Jump to the first cell.

       v      Starts visual selection.

       ^      Move the cell cursor to row 0 of the current column.

       0      Move the cell cursor backward to column A of the current row.

       $      Move the cell cursor forward to the last valid column of the current row.

       b      Move the cell cursor back to the previous valid cell.

       w      Move the cell cursor forward to the next valid cell.

       g0     Move the cell cursor to the first visible column of the screen.

       g$     Move the cell cursor to the last visible column of the screen.

       gM     Move the cell cursor to the middle column of the screen.

       gH     Go to fist visible row on the screen.

       gL     Go to last visible row on the screen.

       gM     Go to middle row on the screen.

       mx     Mark the current cell.

       'x     Jump to a marked cell.

       =      Enter a numeric constant or expression into the current cell.

       <      Enter a label string into the current cell. Right aligned

       >      Enter a label string into the current cell. Left aligned

       {      Left justify the string in the current cell.

       }      Right justify the string in the current cell.

       |      Center the string in the current cell.

       e      Edit the value associated with the current cell.  This is identical to ``='' except
              that  the  command  line  starts out containing the old numeric value or expression
              associated with the cell.  The editing in this mode is vi-like.

       E      Edit the string associated with the current cell.   This  is  identical  to  ``<'',
              ``\'',  or  ``>'' except that the command line starts out containing the old string
              value or expression associated with the cell.  The editing in this mode is vi-like.

       x      Clear the current cell.  Deletes the numeric value, label string, and/or numeric or
              string expression.

       :      Enter COMMAND mode.

ABOUT THE NAME

       The idea is that the program can be identified as another vim-like app. SC-IM  stands  for
       Spreadsheet Calculator Improvised.
