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