ted - Terminal Table Editor
TED is an editor for editing tabular data, like CSVs. It's like a spreadsheet without the calculation logic. It's inspired by Vim and was developed to easily update CSV files without leaving the terminal.
This project is still in it's early phases, and on a bit of a slow burn in terms of development. I tend to only work on it when I use it, which is not very often. However, it's still in a form of maintenance so feel free to use it and post feedback.
