Welcome
datasight lets you look at a data file without leaving the terminal. Point it at a CSV, TSV, Parquet, JSON or NDJSON file and you get a fast, scrollable table: search it, filter it, sort it, group it, chart it, and save what you end up with.
It’s for the moment when you want to see the data. Opening a spreadsheet or starting a notebook is overkill for that.

Then:
- j k h l move around, the same keys as vim.
- / searches the current column.
- f filters it, so typing
> 100keeps the rows over 100. - ? shows every key.
- q quits.
That covers the basics. Each chapter in the sidebar covers one thing you can do, and the cheat sheet lists every key on one page.
