Insert lines/columns

There are many ways to insert and delete lines and columns in CSV mode.

Insert lines

  • Simply double-clicking below the last line creates new lines. This only works if you are not editing a cell.

  • Right-click on the left margin and select Insert Line Below.

  • Select Insert > Empty Line Below. The default shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+Enter.
  • Duplicate a line with Insert > Duplicate line (Ctrl+Shift+Y).
  • Select a cell and drag the lower-right corner of the selection down to copy the cells to new lines. This feature is called Autofill.
  • Change to Normal Mode and press Enter to create new lines, then change back to CSV Mode.

Delete lines

  • Select one or multiple lines, right-click on the left margin and select Delete Lines.
  • Select Edit > Advanced > Cut Line (Ctrl+L).
  • Remove all empty lines with Edit > Advanced > Remove Empty Lines.
  • Delete duplicate lines with Delete Duplicate Lines in the Sort toolbar.

  • Change to Normal Mode, select a line and press Delete, then change back to CSV Mode.

Insert Columns

  • Double-click to the right of the right-most column.

  • Right click in the column header and select Insert Column Right.

  • Select CSV > Columns > Insert Column Right.
  • Duplicate columns with CSV > Columns > Duplicate Columns.
  • Select a cell and drag the lower right corner to the right to create new cells in new columns. This feature is called Autofill.

Delete columns

  • Right-click in the column header above the column to delete and select Delete Columns.
    • You can select multiple columns by click and dragging on the column header then delete those columns with the same command.
  • Remove all empty columns with Remove Empty Columns (accessible through Quick Launch Ctrl+Shift+C).
  • Hide a column by right-clicking in the column header and selecting Hide Columns. Unhide Columns is in the same menu.
