Positron data explorer

[JozefRivest]

Hi everyone,

I've been looking for a good data viewer/explorer for while now. I've been using VisiData but it's not quite good with big data frames. Posit and the (new) Positron IDE data explorer is quite amazing for this task. I was wondering if there would be any ways to integrate it to nvim.

Does anyone have any thoughts on that?

Thanks!

Hi there.

There is a built-in objects browser in R.nvim, have you tried it?

Hi,

Thank you for your answer. I use the object browser to have an overview of the variables' names. What I am looking for is a broader data frame viewer. Similar to the one appearing when calling View(). I am on Mac, so the default application that opens when calling this function is XQuartz. It's fine, but it tends to work poorly with my window manager and it's an external application. A data explorer inside neovim or a browser extension would be nice!

On my side, I replaced visdata with csvlens. It is doing what you are looking for?
