The highlighted position is shown in the top-left corner of the screen; next to
it are shown the contents of that cell.

Features:
---------
* Python 3.4+
* Spreadsheet-like view for easily visualizing tabular data
* Vim-like navigation (h,j,k,l, g(top), G(bottom), 12G goto line 12, m - mark,
  ' - goto mark, etc.) 
* Toggle persistent header row
* Sort ascending or descending by any column. Dynamically change column width and gap
* Sort in 'natural order' to improve numeric sorting
* Full-text incremental search, n and p to cycle between search results
* 'Enter' to view the full cell contents
* Yank cell contents to the clipboard
* File can be reloaded in-place if the data changes.
* F1 or ? for keybindings
* Can also use from python command line to visualize any tabular data (e.g.
  list-of-lists)
* See the screenshots directory for some pictures.

Requires: 
---------

* Python 3.4+
* Xsel or xclip (Optional - only required for 'yank' to clipboard)

* From python command line to view an object

    .. code:: python

        import tabview as t
