Neoleo
Lightweight curses spreadsheet based on GNU oleo.
Quick start
Keybindings work in the style of vim.
Here, C- means the Control character, M- is the mod key, which is
either Alt or ESC.
| Key | Purpose |
|---|---|
| = | Edit a cell |
| r | Do a row command |
| C-c | copy cell formula to clipboard |
| C-g | cancels current operation |
| C-l | set cell alignment left |
| C-q | quit |
| C-r | set cell alignment right |
| C-s | save document |
| C-v | paste cell formula from clipboard |
Up, down, left right and delete keys should work as expected.
For further keybindings, see the man page.
Documents and examples
Neoleo installs examples in a shared directory, typically
Compiling/installing
In short (as from v10.0+), download from github, unpack if appropriate, then
cd neoleo
autoreconf -iv
./configure # adding relevant options
make
make install
Read INSTALL, which contains general instructions, plus specific instructions like compiling from git, as well as trouble-shooting. Platform-specific comments are contained in INSTALL-${platform} files. INSTALL-debian covers Debian-derived distros like Ubuntu and Mint.
Getting fancy
Neoleo comes with a "headerless" mode, where you can interact
via stdin/stdout, a la ed. One command that neoleo has is
tbl, for example, which prints a sheet in groff-compatible form. So you
can create your spreadsheet, and create a nice PDF with it, say
by typing the following from the command line:
neoleo foo.oleo -H <<<tbl 2>/dev/null | groff -t -Tascii | text2pdf >foo.pdf
