open /Applications/Microsoft Excel.app/ open -b com.Microsoft.Excel
That will open it even if it has a different name or is in a different directory.Disadvantage: autocomplete doesn’t work on that in the terminal.
The files /Applications/Microsoft and /Users/lsllc/Excel.app do not exist.
Missing a backslash! [0] ... how quaintly Microsoft!/s
[0] To escape the space, or you could quote the entire argument to `open`
I think it's neat for terminal usage, though.
Other problem: I can vim but I prefer the emacs keybindings.
To be honest I also think that if you are making heavy use of cloud based spread sheet software you have a 100% chance of being a drain on your organization and society as a whole, so I can't really count those missing features as a big downside.
How about for just personal (family/friends) usage?
I would tend to agree spreadsheets are a crutch in larger orgs, however they're best deployed as a prototype tool IMO.
There's plenty of room for > 1 and < 5 (write-access) person operations where cloud based xlsx sharing just makes far more sense than some expensive/excessive enterprise tools.
If it could, that'd be an excellent solution.
