bight.nvim - A neovim spreadsheet plugin

Overview

bight.nvim is a neovim plugin fronted for bight.
It is insipired by Mircrosoft Excel, which is a great product but it has a few downsides, such as load times, its formula language, and not very customizable keymappings.
Bight can:

• Store and edit spreadsheet data
• Evaluate formulas (wrtitten in Lua language)
• Export as .csva

Bigth is heavily WIP, and most features are not out yet.
Bight does not yet support:

• Loading or exporting to .xlsx or .ods
• Loading .csv
• Undoing operations
• Operating on table slices (ranges) in formulas in excel-like manner
• Configuration of keymaps
• Lua API

Installation

cargo is required to build bight.nvim. No prebuilt binaries are currently shipped. With lazy.nvim:

{ 'WASDetchan/bight.nvim', opts = {} }

Usage

Open a file with nvim

nvim file.bight

Use hjkl to move. Use I to edit cell in a separate buffer, or edit in-place with i or R. If you want to evaluate a formula start the cell's source with '=' with a lua expression following it ('=' as the first symbol of the cell will be changed to be 'return ' and the lua chunk will be evaluated. Use '=' if you want the literal '='). Yank cell's source with yy or cell's evaluation result with Y. Paste into the cell with p. Enter visual mode with v. In visual mode use p to paste from clipboard to each of the selected cells, Y to yank values of the selected cells as comma-separated values.
In formulas other cells may be referenced in excel-like manner. The cell positions start from A0. The column's index is the cell's letter coordinate with letters like digits of base 26 number system (so A is 0, B is 1, ..., Z is 25, BZ is 26).
Available global lua functions:

• POSX(): x coordinate (column index) of the current cell
• POSY(): y coordinate (row index) of the current cell
• REL(dx, dy): value of the cell dx to the right and dy down
• More formulas and and slice support are coming soon
