NOTE 06/01/2023:

This project needs some help. This is a one person project and lost sponsoring in the last months. There are only just a few left. I want to still maintain and develop sc-im, but I am the only income in my family and its becoming difficult to work as much as I would want. If you can make a donation (see at the bottom), please do. Your help would be really appreciated!! Thanks.

sc-im

Spreadsheet Calculator Improvised, aka sc-im, is an ncurses based, vim-like spreadsheet calculator.

sc-im is based on sc, whose original authors are James Gosling and Mark Weiser, and mods were later added by Chuck Martin.

Some of the features of sc-im

  • Vim movements commands for editing cell content.
  • UNDO / REDO.
  • 65.536 rows and 702 columns supported. (The number of rows can be expanded to 1.048.576 if wished).
  • CSV / TAB delimited / XLSX file import and export. ODS import. Markdown export.
  • Key-mappings.
  • Autobackup.
  • Direct color support - specifing the RGB values, screen colors can be customized by user, even at runtime.
  • Colorize cells or give them format such as bold, italic or underline.
  • Wide character support. The following alphabets are supported: English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Portuguese, Russian, Ukrainian, Greek, Turkish, Czech, Japanese, Chinese.
  • Sort of rows.
  • Filter of rows.
  • Subtotals.
  • Cell shifting.
  • Clipboard support.
  • GNUPlot interaction.
  • Scripting support with LUA. Also with triggers and c dynamic linked modules.
  • Implement external functions in the language you prefer and use them in SC-IM.
  • Use SC-IM as a non-interactive calculator, reading its input from an external script.
