Spreadsheets in TextMate?
For a while now I’ve been using spreadsheet programs for very simple tasks, namely keeping grade records for my classes, and it frustrates me how over-bloated they are. Given my modest needs, all one would need is a decent editor, and an appropriate grammar to emulate a basic spreadsheet, right? Well, we’ve got a great editor, so all that was left was the syntax. Here is a screencast demonstrating the first steps toward such a syntax and tools around it. It’s very sort, only 30 seconds, more of a “proof of concept” kind of thing. I should point out that moving around is done via the enter and tab keys combined with shift for backward movement, but of course they are customizable. The Spreadsheet Bundle is a work in progress and not yet ready for the repository, but if anyone is interested in playing with it, or helping out in general, please email me or post a comment.
Later

What a great idea! nice how the tab changes on a per column basis as needed.
Sorting would be nice: I guess can be implemented via which column contains the selection.
If you can share the bundle, i’d love to have a play.

hey, I’d love to take a crack at it. I can make no promises about my ability to contribute as a beta tester, because I’m generally pretty bad about it, but if you want feedback I’d love to check it out
I’m actually going to be a student at uchicago next year, as happenstance.
cheers!

You only look at it
Were issued some piracy photos on which the new model of a mobile phone of company Sony Ericsson is ostensibly represented.
