Vim-colddeck

Vim meets Instacalc meets Hewlett-Packard calculators

Colddeck ("Column dc") is a single-column spreadsheet using dc for computations. You jot down values and formulas, one per line, and the result is shown on the right.

Extra features:

• References to other rows (absolute and relative)
• Ranges
• Aggregates (sum, min/max, average...)
• Vim expressions (experimental)
• Value references (experimental)

Example

Syntax in a nutshell

• R3: reference to row #3
• R-1: relative reference to the row above
• R+2: relative reference to the second row below
• R1:R3: range of rows from #1 to #3 (insert values and number of elements)
• R1:R3 @sum: sum of row #1 to #3 (other aggregates: @min, @max, @avg, @prod)
• 42 # text: add "text" as a comment, while passing the value '42' to dc
• 42 ## Label: add "Label" as a right-aligned comment and hide the value or formula on its left, that is still passed to dc
• `log(2)`: vim expression (evaluated before passing the line to dc)
• $2: result of the evalutation of row #2 (must have been previously computed; evaluated before passing the line to dc)

See the documentation for full manual.
