Description
This is one of the most common reasons I open CSV files that have numeric data in them - I want to see a sum for one of the columns. I know it's a slippery slope towards a full Excel/Numbers clone, but as long as it's just simple readonly stats on selected cells, it might be OK.
Would love to contribute, but have never done any OSX desktop development and don't even know what language this is done in. Is it Objective-C?

Research direction
This is an Objective-C macOS application for editing CSV files, and the issue requests a readonly sum for selected numeric cells. Start by locating the code that handles cell selection and the relevant display UI. Done means the sum is shown for the selected cells without editing the CSV data.
