[BlindRUG] Reading of data within the terminal window

Hello,

Viewing large data tables in either the terminal or the GUI version is unusual practice. The built in data window of the GUI version is not particularly friendly for screen readers so I developed the DataViewer() function in the BrailleR package.

Look at the help file for DataViewer(); note the description says:

The chosen data object (data.frame, matrix, or vector) is stored in a temporary csv file. The file is opened while the R terminal/console is suspended until the <enter> key is pressed. This should be done once the spreadsheet software has been closed so that the temporary file is removed and the data object gets updated from the edited csv file. The user must save the csv file if changes are made.

Hope this helps.
Jonathan

I have a similar problem(may be same): I want to navigate in  a Data set or output as if I'm in a table with ctr alt erro combination. Is it possible? I find it much more easy to navigate in tables rather than reading whole line.
Best regards.    <div id="DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2"><br />
<table style="border-top: 1px solid #D3D4DE;">
	<tr>
      <td style="width: 55px; padding-top: 18px;"><a href="https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail"
target="_blank"><img

width="46" height="29" style="width: 46px; height: 29px;" /></a></td>
		<td style="width: 470px; padding-top: 17px; color: #41424e;
font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
line-height: 18px;">Virüs bulunmuyor. <a href="https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail"
