I really wanted to use this tool because I love Vim, but it just feels 'off' to me. I'm not sure why, though.
In a spreadsheet, I'm used to being able to move around with arrow keys and start typing immediately. Using SCIM, it feels like I'm constantly hitting a wall.
Despite that, I think the idea of a spreadsheet as a TUI is really great.
- atlintots 2y agoWhat could be a more Vim-like experience than feeling like you're constantly hitting a wall when first learning? :)
- eterps 2y agoTrue, but in my case I think it isn't enough of a Vim-like experience. In that case I would have expected modes I could stay in for longer than a single cell entry. It would be fine if I'm in insert/edit mode and I can move around entering values in several cells and then press escape to exit that mode. The reason I think TUIs are attractive to use is because they're more efficient to use. But this one doesn't feel more efficient to use than its GUI counterparts.

- croemer 2y agoMy expectation would be that you have to enter insert mode first before you can type, no?
- trollbridge 2y agoWhilst this is a neat project, it would seem the best way to get a Vim-like spreadsheet would be to build something actually in Vim.
