del-attr # 

:del-attr <attribute>

Alias: da

Deletes attribute from the currently selected item; or if there are any marked items, the marked items.

echo # 

:echo [message ...]

export # 

:export [-all] <filename>

Writes the currently loaded items as a CSV file to filename.

Only string, numerical, and boolean values will be written to the export; all other value types will be black. Exporting will honour the columns currently visible in the table. Filtered items will also be included in the exported file.

When called with the -all flag, any subsequent pages will be included in the export. If invoked after running a query, all items returned from that query will be exported to file.

mark # 

:mark [all | none | toggle]

Mark the rows in the following way:

  • all: will mark all rows. This is the default when invoked without an argument.
  • none: will unmark all rows.
  • toggle: will toggle all marked and unmarked rows.

new-item # 

:new-item

Creates a new item. When executed, the value for the partition key and sort key will be prompted. The new item will not be written to the table until it is committed with the put command.

If unset, the attribute type will not be changed. type must be set if multiple items have been marked.
