dear emacs experts: I often have to look at files that come from
spreadsheets. (No, I do not need emacs to become a spreadsheet; I did
look at these solutions.)
What I would love is a mode for a display that takes all the currently
visible on-screen data, and sets the tabs at the irregular places that
are warranted by the maximum length of each column on the screen (and
presumably sets truncate-lines). oh, and tabs=field-delimiters could
be either real tabs, or commas (that are not inside quotations), as
they are in standard .csv files.
A second-best solution would be to set field widths not based on what
is currently visible, but based on the entire file's columns.
Having such a mode would make editing such data a lot simpler for me.
Does it exist somewhere?
pointers appreciated.
