I do. I have phone numbers and more extensive number transformations on my to-do list. Those probably won't make it in there for version 2.0, but maybe 2.1 or 2.2.

Yes, it's configurable. It has an auto-detect feature, but if it guesses wrong, you can reload the file with a different delimiter. You can also set a different delimiter to save. In this version, you can change it for an individual file with the File Metadata feature. Also, one of the preference files is called File Extension Options. That may help too. If you need help getting it to work like you want, let me know.

That was part of the idea. Something you might like is you can navigate with alt+i/j/k/l instead of the arrow keys. That fraction of a second you won't have to move your wrist to the arrow keys and back adds up.

It can handle about 2 billion rows and columns. Aside from that, it's limited by your machine's memory. If you open a file in edit mode, the memory footprint is about 3-4x the file size. If you open in read-only mode, it's only a fraction of the file size (maybe 20-25% or so).

Looking at their website, I have in mind some of the things they do, but some of my ideas might have to go into a separate product. I'm careful not to go too far beyond what can fairly be called a CSV editor.

Hi, I'm Evan, developer of Modern CSV. I started developing this out of frustration with how a certain spreadsheet program handles CSV files. I took inspiration from the text editors we've all come to love and this is the result. It's available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Here are some of the features that make it stand out:

- Multiple cell/row/column editing - Easy navigation between files - Keyboard shortcut customization - Command palette - Read-only mode for super large files

With version 2, I'm adding some basic data analysis tools, some new themes, M1 compatibility for Mac users, and a whole bunch of editing commands, most of which are user-requested (well, technically all since I use my own product). The current beta version will work until June 25. It includes all Premium features without the need for a license. I'll be happy to hear any feedback you have about it!

C++ (I'm the developer).

I just tested the email form myself and saw the same thing, but my address was added, so yours probably was too. I'll be sure to fix that.
