Moving around
Getting around the table
| Key | Moves |
|---|---|
| j / ↓ | Down a row |
| k / ↑ | Up a row |
| h / ← | Left a column |
| l / → | Right a column |
| g / Home | First row |
| G / End | Last row |
| PageDown / PageUp | 20 rows at a time |
Most keys act on the current column, the one under the cursor. Searching, filtering, sorting and the popups below all use it.
Column widths
| Key | Does |
|---|---|
| = | Fit every column to its content |
| _ | Fit the current column. Press again to put it back |
| - / + | Make the current column narrower / wider |
A column never grows wider than the screen, so it can’t push everything else off to the side.
A quick look at a column
e opens a small box with the current column’s count, min, max, mean and median. Press e again to close it.
Every column at once
i opens the column inspector: one line per column with its type, how many values are filled in, how many are empty, how many are distinct, and min, max, mean and median. Move with j / k, press Enter to jump to that column in the table, or Esc to go back. In a wide file, press / and type part of a column’s name to find it.
It’s the fastest way to get to know a file you’ve never seen.
