| # `explore` | |
| Explore is a table pager, just like `less` but for table structured data. | |
| ## Signature | |
| `> explore --head --index --reverse --peek` | |
| ### Parameters | |
| - `--head {boolean}`: turn off column headers | |
| - `--index`: show row indexes (by default it's not showed) | |
| - `--reverse`: start from the last row | |
| - `--peek`: returns a last used value, so it can be used in next pipelines | |
| ## Get Started | |
| ```nu | |
| ls | explore -i | |
| ``` | |
|  | |
| So the main point of [`explore`](/commands/docs/explore.md) is `:table` (Which you see on the above screenshot). | |
| You can interact with it via `<Left>`, `<Right>`, `<Up>`, `<Down>` _arrow keys_. | |
| You can inspect a underlying values by entering into cursor mode. You can press either `<i>` or `<Enter>` to do so. | |
| Then using _arrow keys_ you can choose a necessary cell. | |
| And you'll be able to see it's underlying structure. | |
| You can obtain more information about the various aspects of it by `:help`. | |
| ## Commands | |
| [`explore`](/commands/docs/explore.md) has a list of built in commands you can use. Commands are run through pressing `<:>` and then a command name. | |
| To find out the comprehensive list of commands you can type `:help`. | |
| ## Config | |
| You can configure many things (including styles and colors), via config. | |
| You can find an example configuration in [`default-config.nu`](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/blob/main/crates/nu-utils/src/sample_config/default_config.nu). | |
| ## Examples | |
| ### Peeking a value | |
| ```nu | |
| $nu | explore --peek | |
| ``` | |
|  | |
| ### `:try` command | |
| There's an interactive environment which you can use to navigate through data using `nu`. | |
|  | |
| #### Keeping the chosen value by `$nu` | |
| Remember you can combine it with `--peek`. | |
