5. **Files**: `engine/io.rs` sniffs content (XLSX, XLSB, ODS) before trusting the extension and
dispatches to `crates/xlsx`; imports that lose data return warnings shown to the user.
## UI building blocks
The panels in `crates/ui-egui` share a few pieces, so a new feature reuses them instead of
drawing its own:
- **Colours**: `theme::Tokens`, each with a light and a dark value. The sheet stays white in both
themes, so colours drawn on it (`sheet_ref_colors`, `sheet_control_*`, icons through
`icons::paint_on_sheet`) keep their light values. `theme::contrast_tests` holds every
foreground/background pair to WCAG 2 (4.5:1 for text, 3:1 for glyphs) in both themes; a new
token pair is added there. Icons (`icons.rs`, drawn in code) take their paper and category
colours (`theme::Cat`) from the tokens.
- **Ribbon widgets**: `widgets.rs` has the buttons every tab is built from (`big_button`,
`small_button`, `split_button`, `big_split_button`, `toggle_button`), translated through
`i18n` in one place. Split buttons return the main and arrow responses separately, with
accessible names (`AutoSum`, `AutoSum options`). The ribbon card scrolls a tab wider than the
window, with arrows at its edges; `ribbon::RibbonOverflow` records the groups' size each frame,
and a test keeps every tab within the card's three rows.
- **Code editor**: `widgets::code_editor(ui, id, &mut text, Lang, max_lines)` (`code_editor.rs`)
edits code in the monospace font with `Tokens::syntax` colours: Python (keywords, strings
including triple-quoted ones, numbers, comments, builtins) and LaTeX (commands, scripts,
comments). Tab indents (every selected line, Shift+Tab dedents), Enter keeps the line's
indentation (one level more after a Python colon), both applied in input order with the typing
around them: a pass can carry several events, and the editor's keys that follow an event the
text field acts on (select all, an arrow) wait for the editor's next pass, which puts them
ahead of its input, so the field never gets a Tab or an Enter of a focused editor; and it
scrolls past `max_lines` with the caret in view. The tokenizer and the key edits are pure functions with tests, including
hostile input.
- **Formula bar**: grows with its content from one line to `formula_bar::MAX_LINES` (five), then
scrolls; one line is Excel's 30 px unless the font's rows need more (`formula_bar::one_line`;
the Windows UI font's row is 17.28 px), so every counted line fits whatever the font;
`formula_bar::BarLayout` records where its parts went each frame, for tests.
## Engine building blocks for multi-command actions

| 2026-10-24 | minor | Go To lists the named ranges on every sheet, as Excel's does ("The Go to popup window shows named ranges on every worksheet in your workbook"): a name scoped to another sheet appears as `Sheet2!Name`, and hidden names, constants and formulas are left out. It keeps the references entered (newest first, ten at most), and a double-click on an entry goes there. The Reference box and `edit.goTo` take several names or references separated by commas (`Price, Type`, `B14:C22,F19:G30,H21:H29`) and select them all; `edit.goTo {list: true}` returns the list |
| 2026-10-24 | minor | Right-clicking the status bar opens a menu of its statistics, as in Excel ("If you want to customize the status bar, right-click it, and then click the options that you want"): Average, Count and Sum are on by default, and Numerical Count, Minimum and Maximum are new and off by default. The choice is a preference (`view.statusBar`), kept in `prefs.json` |
| 2026-10-24 | minor | Ctrl+Shift+U (Control+Shift+U on a Mac) expands or collapses the formula bar, as in Excel ("Expand or collapse the formula bar. Ctrl+Shift+U"), on the grid and in the cell editor or formula bar while editing. On Windows and Linux it used to underline the selection, as Ctrl+U does. The command is `view.expandFormulaBar` (`{on?}`, toggles without it) |
| 2026-10-24 | minor | Right-clicking a PivotTable's value, subtotal or grand total cell offers Show Details in the cell menu, as in Excel ("Right-click a field in the values area of the PivotTable, and then click Show Details"): it lists the cell's source records on a new sheet, as double-clicking the cell does (`pivot.showDetails`). Labels and headers of a current report don't offer it; in a report that is out of date every cell offers it, and choosing it asks for a refresh |
| 2026-10-24 | minor | Sheet tabs: the handle at the horizontal scrollbar's left edge shows the resize cursor, and dragging it moves the boundary, as in Excel ("Hover the mouse pointer at the edge of the scrollbar until you see the double-headed arrow"). Dragging it right gives the tabs more of the bar, until the scrollbar is 100 px wide (the scrollbar stays 100 px wide after the window is narrowed); dragging it left gives the scrollbar more, down to the New sheet button. Room the tabs don't fill stays empty, with New sheet after the last tab. Each open workbook keeps its own share; a workbook starts at the default (tabs up to 60%) |
| 2026-10-24 | minor | Outline Settings (Data ▸ Outline ▸ Settings, `data.outlineSettings`): clearing Summary rows below detail or Summary columns to right of detail puts the − / + buttons on the line above or left of each group, and Hide Detail, Show Detail and the level buttons mark that line collapsed. Changing a direction moves the marks of collapsed groups. Read and written as `outlinePr summaryBelow` / `summaryRight` |
| 2026-10-23 | minor | F3, Formulas › Use in Formula › Paste Names… and Alt+M, S, P open the Paste Name dialog (F3 only when the workbook has names). It lists the workbook's names and the active sheet's own in alphabetical order, hidden names left out; OK or a double-click puts the selected name at the caret of the formula being edited, in place of selected text, or starts `=Name` in the active cell (`formulas.pasteName` `{name}`), and Paste List writes each name and the text of what it refers to in two columns from the active cell (`{list: true}`). While a dialog is open over the edit, the cell editor takes no keys, and Cancel leaves the selected text selected. The Use in Formula menu lists the same names and inserts at the caret too (`formulas.useInFormula`); it used to list hidden names and other sheets' names, the menu added the name at the end of the text, and the command replaced the text being edited |
| 2026-10-23 | minor | Conditional Formatting ▸ New Rule, formula: clicking a cell on the grid writes its absolute reference at the formula box's caret (`=$B$2`, an empty box starts with `=`), a drag writes a range (`$B$2:$C$4`) and a second click replaces the reference just written, as in Excel ("Selecting cells on the worksheet inserts absolute cell references"). The selection the rule applies to doesn't move, and the box keeps the keyboard. After an operand (`=A1>5`) the click does nothing (#2348) |
| 2026-10-23 | minor | Frozen panes: Page Up, Ctrl+Up and Shift variants that move from the scrolled rows into the frozen ones bring the scrolled rows back to the top, so the rows in between are seen again (Page Up from far down used to end on row 1 with the view still a page down); Ctrl+Left and Alt+Page Up do the same for frozen columns. Other ways of selecting a frozen cell (click, Find, Go To, Undo, formula pointing) leave the view where it is |
| 2026-10-23 | minor | After a left-drag of the fill handle an Auto Fill Options button sits below the filled cells; its menu redoes the fill as Copy Cells, Fill Series, Fill Formatting Only or Fill Without Formatting (undoes the drag's fill, then `edit.autoFill` in that mode). It goes away when the workbook changes or the selection moves (#1403) |
| 2026-10-24 | minor | When the fill starts from a date, the right-drag fill menu and the Auto Fill Options button also offer Fill Days, Fill Weekdays (Saturday and Sunday skipped), Fill Months and Fill Years (`edit.autoFill` with `mode` set to `days`, `weekdays`, `months` or `years`). A lone date steps by one unit; two or more dates step by the difference between the first two in that unit, or one unit when they fall in the same one. Fill Months and Fill Years keep the day of the month, clamped to the month's last day. Every fill by months or years (these two, a drag of dates a month apart, and Series by Month or Year) keeps the time of day of a date with a time, which used to be dropped |
| 2026-10-22 | minor | Show Outline Symbols (`view.showOutlineSymbols`, Ctrl+8): a sheet can hide the outline's level buttons and brackets while keeping its outline, as Excel saves with `showOutlineSymbols="0"` (read and written); the grid then gives the bands no room |
| 2026-10-22 | minor | A number in a repeat-fill format (`*`, as in the Accounting format) that is too wide for its column shows #### like any other number, instead of the fill rebuilding the value so its leading digits were cut off (2,509.00 CHF drawn as "509.00 CHF") |
| 2026-10-21 | minor | Background error checking, first part (#1994): a constant whose text would be a number if typed (signs, thousands, currency, percent, exponent, parenthesised negative) gets Excel's green corner triangle; the active cell then shows a warning button whose menu names the problem and offers Convert to Number for the selection (`formulas.convertToNumber`).

After a control-channel or MCP copy, which leaves the system clipboard alone, Paste pastes that copy until other text is copied. Once a cut has been pasted, Paste (ribbon, menus or Cmd/Ctrl+V) doesn't paste the cut's clipboard text again over the moved cells (Excel pastes a cut once), and the Paste keytip (H,V,P) pastes the system clipboard like the button.
