Getting started
012 is a spreadsheet for the terminal: Google Sheets' behavior inside the grid, Lotus 1-2-3's look around it.

- Install and run 012.
- Type into cells as in Sheets: text, numbers,
$1,200,12%, dates, and formulas starting with=(formulas). Enter and Tab accept and move on. - The screen says what's going on: the mode indicator, the formula bar and the context line, which shows the keys that apply.
- F1 lists every shortcut, F10 or Alt+letter opens the menus, and Ctrl+K searches every command. The keys page has them all, and the vim keymap.
