Command Mode

You enter command mode by typing : while in navigation mode. You can then type a command and hit Enter to execute it or Esc to cancel.

The currently supported commands are:

• write [path] save the current spreadsheet. If the path is provided it will save it to that path and update the current file path for subsequent saves. If omitted it will save to the path you are currently editing (or Untitled.sui for a new empty workbook).
