Version

csview 1.2.2

Problem / Steps to reproduce

Thank you for creating such an exceptional application. I frequently need to view CSV files with extended column widths, which unfortunately, do not display well in table view. Therefore, I would like to suggest the implementation of a csview flatten feature, similar to xsv flatten, but with line separation. I believe this enhancement would greatly improve the user experience. Thank you for considering my suggestion.

Research direction

Start by reading the README's command usage and inspecting how csview's existing views and subcommands are organized. Compare the requested behavior with xsv flatten, including the requested line separation. Done means a flatten view can display wide CSV rows legibly on Linux while preserving the existing table view.
