Interactive Tables and their API

The table UI allows column drag/drop, hide, sorting, formatting, searching, selecting/export as CSV. This makes it easy to paste into a spreadsheet like Excel.

There is a menu in the top-left for the whole table, and each column has a menu that appears on hover.

There are also keyboard commands: digits change the precision of all columns, shift-digit changes the precision of the current column. Arrow keys navigate.

display

This changes the format of the table above in the previous output cell. It's updated because the object is synchronized between the kernel and the client.
