Visidata is my favorite new CLI/TUI tools over the last few years. It makes it extremely easy to explore/modify structured data in the terminal.

This release adds a couple new loaders for odt and the lsv. LSV (or Line separated values) is based on a request for an "awk" like key/value loader.

In the 2.6 release, Visidata added menus which makes it much easier to find commands.

I think the best way to learn about what it can do is see Jeremy Singer-Vine's tutorial: VisiData in 60 Seconds: https://jsvine.github.io/intro-to-visidata/the-big-picture/v...

Or the developer's YouTube videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxu7QdBkC7drrAGfYzatP...
