I have a csv with 259 columns, and when I load it in scim the header fields are stacked into a layer of 6 rows, and the column values are interleaved. Let me know if you want me to attach a screenshot.

cursorline is great in vim but here we would also need columns to be highlighted...
update: vim has cursorcolumn! so implement equivalent of that.

Hi,

I'm using iTerm with the "Pastel (Dark Background)" color preset which makes all the colors a little bit weak. Sometimes I want stronger colors and in vim I can just specify a number between 0-255 instead of a name but in scim it does not seem to work. Am I missing something or can I only use the color names?

Thanks!

explanation is the same as https://github.com/andmarti1424/scim/issues/17 plus having it saved over restarting of scim, using an undo file.

When I use the shift left or shift up commands they delete the cell. But shift right and shift down
work as I expect (shifting the contents). Am I misunderstanding something?

The version of sc-im in the dev branch doesn't allow entering accented characters. More generally, the problem seems to be entering non-ascii characters.

When searching in vim you use 'n' to go to the next match and 'N' to the previous match. 'n' works in
sc-im but not 'N'. May I suggest this as a feature?

After building from source, typing :help gives the error Cannot open help file

Thanks for the app! I have a question regarding plain text export. In original sc, one can write out a plain text version of the shreadsheet with command key w. I do not have found a way to do it in sc-im. If I export using tab delimited files with :e tab the format is messed up.

So my question is: is there any way to do plain text export I have overlooked?

Thanks, Bernd!

I've uncommented MACOSX := -DMACOSX but when I run make I get library not found for -lncursesw. Any tips on what I should look into to fix it?

Hi,

please add git-tags for versions to the appropriate commits. Would be a pleasure for me as packager!

Thanks!

add 'Ctrl+V' for selecting column in visual-mode, just like vim.

running sc-im nameofthe.csv tries to use the csv as a sc formatted file.
expected would be either an error message on how to correctly open CSV files, or detecting on extension which way to open it.

this might be because of the lack of knowledge on my part...

in old sc you couldn't define variables unless you named a cell and then used that name as named variable. lines for that definition in .sc file would start with directive 'define' and so on.

problem i have with that is that it's not dynamic because when sc writes to disk it takes variable names and replaces them with the hardcoded/statit cell address.

it would be nice to have variables define (preferebly in a seperate file which hopefully will residing in the same dir as the .sc file) with user defined variables.

let me know if what i'm saying here is vague and i will explain more.

I type =@sum( in 'sc' and it allows me to select a range visually. In 'scim', just enters ESC mode.

Is this a design decision?

PS: I realize you can visually select a range, add it to mark 'a', then type =@sum(a).

Termux is a terminal environment like debian. Where you can install software via apt in android.

With the latest version, I'm getting segfaults on save.
I'm not sure what extra information you would need.

When entering a command such as ":i csv data.csv" hitting backspace does not register.

System:
OSX 10.9.5
Terminal (default)

I opened a csv that was in utf8, and although the accented characters appeared alright, alignment was messed-up. Here some lines from that file:

,,,,,,,
,O que,Quando,Quanto,Moeda,,US$ 1 =,"R$ 3,90"
,Passagem de Rafael para Denver/México,07/10/2015,"$873,00",USD,,Livia =,+
,Rede do Índio pro pai de Livia,01/11/2015,"-$76,92",USD,,Rafa =,-
,Cachaças,24/11/2015,"-$30,59",USD,,,

This happens when calling scim from another directory without installing it. E.g.

cd sc-im
src/scim
# enter :help 

(glibc memory map dump)
Error !!! Quitting SC-IM.Aborted (core dumped)

...with function/eqn mapping, as much as possible of cours.

I know that this soft should not crash, but, it is possible that it happens. When it happens (for example, when exiting in commit 1bc54df) the terminal is not reset in it's original state (cursor no longer appears).

Comments are currently in Spanish.
I have no problem with Spanish, but I can not fully understand it (French speaker here :) ). It might (or not) help contributions if comments were in English.

This "bug" is, imho, not an important one, simply a wish.

visual mode would be cool too; pretty much the same as in vim.
replica of this: https://github.com/msharov/sc/issues/3

strings write over each other! tested on st and systemd's console. systemd's console is similar to kmscon, basically xterm-256 with utf-8 support.

Dear Andrés,

why did you call your version/fork of sc "Spreadsheet Calculator Improvised" and not
"Spreadsheet Calculator Improved" like the relationship between vi and vim would suggest?
Is this some kind of inside joke?

Best regards,
Arne

I get the following error:

gcc -DSYSV3 -O2 -pipe -g -c -o buffer.o buffer.c
In file included from buffer.c:3:0:
macros.h:47:21: fatal error: ncurses.h: No such file or directory

make: *** [buffer.o] Error 1

It cannot seem to find <ncurses.h> which is installed.

Thanks for updating sc.

I love this project, standard sc lacks so many things that sc-im really catches the eye, but I'm not really sure about how the license is compatible (or not) with free software ones (GPL specifically) and it makes me hesitate and a little bit uncomfortable to pour work on it.

Have you consider converting the project to GPL?

I think it would have pretty much the same conditions and freedoms but with the advantage of a very standard and strong free software license backup by the whole GNU and FSF community. Probably the only thing to change would be the LICENSE file with the standard GPLv3 one. Appending to it the attribution and so.

That would even come with extra ease for distribution in GNU/Linux distros standard repos.

GPLv3 howto

Not an issue but probably a wish :)

i'm working on packaging this for exherbo. setting CC should be left to host and build to be determined. please commnet CC in src/Makefile, that way we have much more general approach. thanks.

1. add a search hotkey in help page. "/ hotkey" like in less
2. edit mode "e or E hotkey"; doesnt have a cursor blinker so i donno where i am =)
3. edit mode "e or E hotkey" while in insert mode; can't hit back space to delete character (Ctrl+H works tho)

Thanks for making this fork; undo feature is great

P.S you might want to change the name since there is already a SCIM project

suggestions
scimws (sc improved worksheet)
scimwb (sc improved workbook)
scimdb (sc improved database)
scimwu (sc improved with undo) lols

file history.c, line 108.

Trying assig null to nl->pnext->pant fails, since nl->pnext is null.

add 'V' for selecting row in visual-mode; like 'V' for selecting the current line in vim.

this shall be a super ticket for auto-suggestion/completion.
ideas so far:

1. implement pop-up menu like in vim for showing suggestions (youcompleteme et al use this)
2. a completer to fuzzy search possbile functions/named variables and so on
3. find or write a lib to talk to google's API for suggestions, pretty much the same google does it on it's own google-doc's spreadsheets.

Type in a long text string to a cell

"<here is a very long text string that will crash the spreadsheet after you type this in it will crash"

and press enter

It errors out with:
Error !!! Quitting SC-IM.

I can't find a way to pad cells so that there is a space between adjacent cell values. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks so much for making this andmarti1424; great program!

If I type 'ma', then paste it with 'ca', then hit 'u'. It says "No undo's left."

Some examples of rendering issues I have:

• when I first load scim, a line of the previous terminal screen is displayed (on line 36)
• when I hit 'j', half the column numbers disappear. To get them back I have to scroll down
  to those cells.
• Navigating through a large csv will leave some previous values rendered, and also show some
  garbage values like '7;156H1949'

I use iTerm on Mac, OS X 10.9.5.

it give 'Illegal numeric expression' error here.
@coltoa(A) however returns 0 as expected.
@mycol returns correct values as well.

maybe better to let it start with the :help contents

I followed the instructions for installing on OSX, but I get this:

Hello, Andrés

Brian Tiffin here, I've started in on writing up a sc-im User Guide. I use Sphinx and ReStructuredText for technical writing, and I'm very interested in seeing this project moving forward, and improving.

I have plans to leverage this awesome update to sc in both GnuCOBOL and Open Object Rexx applications. Or at least, to show people how this system can be leveraged.

I'm still a GnuCOBOL developer, first and foremost, but I plan on helping out with sc-im, if and when, I can.

Can't really promise much at this point, as the work has just begun, and things can always go sideways, but I think I've got a pretty good plan in place, and I'm hoping to be able to show you some actual output over the next few weeks and months. The level of keen is fairly high, having just had a chance to play around with your latest.

GnuCOBOL 2.0 is nearing a release, as is Open Object Rexx version 5.0, so things will be busy.

For a sample of the writing you can expect to see, take a look at http://opencobol.add1tocobol.com/gnucobol/ which currently weighs in at about 865 pages when output as PDF. The source code highlighting of the COBOL is a contribution I made to the Pygments team, and we even get to enjoy those coloured listings on SourceForge and Wikipedia now, thanks to Team Pocoo. There are features in Sphinx that will allow Markdown files as part of the documentation set with a remarkdown tool. I'll be adding those features to the GnuCOBOL FAQ to make it easier to get Wiki shared edits on some of the more interesting topics in the current book, topics that deserve some wisdom of the many.

sc-im highlighting in Pygments will be part of the effort I put into this new book. Just spent a few hours getting an Introductory chapter written, but again, too early to show you much yet, but this note is to inform you that efforts have begun, and that you have a fan that will try and help out.

I'm also a fan of Doxygen, and might even take a kick at adding some API documentation to your source listings. Might even make a pass and try and autotool-ize your source tree, which might make it easier on distro package maintainers once you think sc-im is ready for the likes of Debian and Fedora.

I hope you don't mind, but I plan on reformatting the internal doc file to fit within an 80 column display, about 15% through the file so far. You can see a copy in the draft.

Keep up the good works, Andrés, and more soon on the documentation angles.

As a maintainer with the GNU project, and free software fan, I'll be willing to re-assign copyrights to you and your project, as long as sc-im remains freedom free.

Current (work in progress, very much incomplete) samples at:
http://peoplecards.ca/sc-im/ (Generated by Sphinx (agogo theme))
and
http://peoplecards.ca/sc-im/sc-im-rst.html (straight up Docutils, rst2html)

Cheers, and have good,
Brian

scim is also the name of an input method framework, which is still packaged in most linux systems.

[see https://github.com/andmarti1424/scim/issues/16 for what payment_by_x is]

if we could also have named functions, say:
define @nval(payment_by_x,@myrow) what_x_paied
then we would have
what_x_paied-rent

that's as close as it gets to natural language, IMHO.

Is there a way to set the colors (fg, bg) of a single cell or a entire row?

Cellcolors are saved to file without the first letter of the color.
Example from saved file:
cellcolor A0 "fg=REEN bg=HITE"

edit:
removing lines 286 and 293 in file.c marked with "FIXME THIS" solves the problem, but I don't understand what those lines are supposed to do.

It would be really nice if a homebrew formulae was created making it easy to install/uninstall sc-im on a mac.

scim does undo but no redo.

i keep hitting 'q' to quit in help thinking it's less. could we allow for external pagers to be used in :help?

Hello. I'm enjoying scim immensely; it's a huge improvement over the traditional sc.

I have question that may be a bug, or may be a feature request -- I'm not sure.

I use the "m" and letter key to mark a cell, and "c" and letter key to copy the contents, as in the old sc.

However it seems if I select a range of cells, with "R" then "x" and "y" or whichever letter sequence, the same behavior isn't available.

In other words, I want to select a range, then mark it, then copy it in the same fashion as the old "m" and "c" keys. I can "yank" that range and "paste" in vim style, but that doesn't preserve formulas in the same fashion.

Am I overlooking that feature? or is it not working right? I've tried as many combinations of keypresses as I could think of, but I don't see if it's possible.

Thanks again, and please keep up the good work. scim is a wonderful program.

Everything is in title :)
