Run it as `explore`.

#### example

```nu
ls | explore
```

Configuration points in `config.nu` file.
```
  # A 'explore' utility config
   explore_config: {
     highlight: { bg: 'yellow', fg: 'black' }
     status_bar: { bg: '#C4C9C6', fg: '#1D1F21' }
     command_bar: { fg: '#C4C9C6' }
     split_line: '#404040'
     cursor: true
     # selected_column: 'blue'
     # selected_row: { fg: 'yellow', bg: '#C1C2A3' }
     # selected_cell: { fg: 'white', bg: '#777777' }
     # line_shift: false,
     # line_index: false,
     # line_head_top: false,
     # line_head_bottom: false,
   }
```

You can start without a pipeline and type `explore` and it'll give you a
few tips.

If you type `:help` you an see the help screen with some information on
what tui keybindings are available.

From the `:help` screen you can now hit `i` and that puts you in
`cursor` aka `inspection` mode and you can move the cursor left right up
down and it you put it on an area such as `[table 5 rows]` and hit the
enter key, you'll see something like this, which shows all the `:`
commands. If you hit `esc` it will take you to the previous screen.

If you then type `:try` you'll get this type of window where you can
type in the top portion and see results in the bottom.

The `:nu` command is interesting because you can type pipelines like
`:nu ls | sort-by type size` or another pipeline of your choosing such
as `:nu sys` and that will show the table that looks like this, which
we're calling "table mode".

![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/343840/205090809-e686ff0f-6d0b-4347-8ed0-8c59adfbd741.png)

If you hit the `t` key it will now transpose the view to look like this.

![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/343840/205090948-a834d7f2-1713-4dfe-92fe-5432f287df3d.png)

In table mode or transposed table mode you can use the `i` key to
inspect any collapsed field like `{record 8 fields}`, `[table 16 rows]`,
`[list x]`, etc.

One of the original benefits was that when you're in a view that has a
lot of columns, `explore` gives you the ability to scroll left, right,
up, and down.

`explore` is also smart enough to know when you're in table mode versus
preview mode. If you do `open Cargo.toml | explore` you get this.

If you type `open --raw Cargo.toml | explore` you get this where you can
scroll left, right, up, down. This is called preview mode.

![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/343840/205091990-69455191-ab78-4fea-a961-feafafc16d70.png)

When you're in table mode, you can also type `:preview`. So, with `open
--raw Cargo.toml | explore`, if you type `:preview`, it will look like
this.
