eyeshade

Eyeshade is a fast, canvas-rendered data grid that can handle millions of rows.

Eyeshade attempts to use commonly known spreadsheet mechanics, but has been optimized to accomodate large data sets, at the expense of some flexibility. For example, formulas, formats, and styles are defined for whole columns, not for individual cells. Header cells are selectable - row/col operations like sorting, moving, hiding, and showing are managed by arrow commands entered while a header cell is selected.

Controls

When value cell is selected

Arrow moves the cursor, Shift extends selection, Ctrl moves to the edge

Arrow             Move Cursor
Ctrl+Arrow        Move Cursor To Edge (or jump to header if already at top/left edge)
Shift+Arrow       Extend Selection
Ctrl+Shift+Arrow  Extend Selection To Edge

Ctrl/Shift+Space selects whole row/col/grid ranges

Ctrl+Space        Select Whole Col
Shift+Space       Select Whole Row
Ctrl+Shift+Space  Select Whole Grid

Space begins edit, or just start entering a new value

Space                              Edit Cell / Edit Range as TSV
A-Z,a-z,0-9,other printable chars  Edit Cell, deleting existing value and beginning entry of new value

Alt+Arrow commands are used for structural changes that add/delete rows/cols

        Alt+Arrow           Alt+Shift+Arrow
Up      Add New Row Above   Delete Row
Right   Add New Col Right   Delete Col
Down    Add New Row Below   Delete Row
Left    Add New Col Left    Delete Col

To copy and paste data from external sources to and from the grid, edit ranges (coming soon)

F2   Edit Cell
F3   Edit Range As TSV (this is how you copy and paste external data)
F4   Edit Range As CSV
F5   Edit Range As JSON
F6   Edit Range As YAML

Standard cut, copy, and paste only work within the grid - these commands don't actually copy data to the system clipboard

Ctrl+C   Copy (internal only)
Ctrl+X   Cut (internal only)
Ctrl+V   Paste (internal only)

When header cell is selected

When header cells are selected, Arrow and Ctrl/Shift+Arrow act to move the cursor and extend selection just as when value cells are selected. Column headers may be edited to change the column name.

Arrow              Move Cursor
Ctrl+Arrow         Move Cursor To Edge
Shift+Arrow        Extend Selection
Ctrl+Shift+Arrow   Extend Selection To Edge
Space              Edit Cell

                   Col Header                        Row Header
Left               Move Cursor                       -
Right              Move Cursor                       Move Cursor back to value cells
Up                 -                                 Move Cursor
Down               Move Cursor back to value cells   Move Cursor

Shift+Right        Extend Selection                  -
Shift+Up           -                                 Extend Selection
Shift+Down         -                                 Extend Selection
Ctrl+Left          Move Cursor to Edge               -
Ctrl+Right         Move Cursor to Edge               -
Ctrl+Up            Sort Col Ascending                Move Cursor to Edge
Ctrl+Down          Sort Col Descending               Move Cursor to Edge
Ctrl+Shift+Left    Extend Selection to Edge          -
Ctrl+Shift+Right   Extend Selection to Edge          -
Ctrl+Shift+Up      Add Multisort Ascending           Extend Selection to Edge
Ctrl+Shift+Down    Add Multisort Descending          Extend Selection to Edge

When a column header is selected, Ctrl+Up/Down sorts the column, Ctrl+Shift+Up/Down adds a multisort level

Col Header Selected
Ctrl+Up          Sort Col Ascending
Ctrl+Down        Sort Col Descending
Ctrl+Shift+Up    Add Multisort Ascending
Ctrl+Shift+Down  Add Multisort Descending

Alt+Arrow makes structural changes - move/hide/show

             Col Header        Row Header
Alt+Left     Move Cols Left    Hide Rows
Alt+Right    Move Cols Right   Show Rows
Alt+Up       Hide Cols         Move Rows Up
Alt+Down     Show Cols         Move Rows Down
