5.7.2 CSV Usage ¶

The following sections are offered in the menu:

Navigation, Line, Buffer

Commands for moving the point, mostly with respect to a field.

Page

Move up or down a page.

Buffer/File

Commands associated the current buffer or file, such changing the buffer state from viewable (read-only) to editable (writeable), display alignment, or duplicating the file for subsequent editing.

Field

Commands to mark or copy a field.

Sort

Sorting commands. This section is displayed only if the buffer is editable.

Fields

Kill and yank commands dedicated for CSV mode. Note that these commands do not use the default kill-ring and are marked with a bullet (•). This section is displayed only if the buffer is editable.

Misc

Miscellaneous commands. Note if a region is selected containing multiple complete rows, the “C Copy as Table” command will reformat the selected rows as an Org table and copy them in the kill-ring for subsequent pasting.

CVS View/Edit, Duplicate ¶

If the buffer is in view (read-only) mode, then only relevant commands are displayed.

If the buffer is editable, a common to desire to instead work on a copy of the CSV file to avoid making unwanted changes. This can be done using the “d Duplicate” command.

CSV Align ¶

The display of the CSV buffer can be controlled with this menu.

CSV Settings ¶
