Lightweight curses spreadsheet based on GNU oleo.

Keybindings work in the style of vim.

Here, C- means the Control character, M- is the mod key, which is either Alt or ESC.

Up, down, left right and delete keys should work as expected.

For further keybindings, see the man page.

Neoleo installs examples in a shared directory, typically

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.

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
