Prerequisites
馃殌 Feature Proposal
Add a transposed view to the data grid, where rows become columns and you scroll horizontally instead of vertically.
This feature proposal does not duplicate #339, but does aim to help with a similar need for a more compact and scannable way to view data in some situations, and this feature would benefit from the more compact cells implemented in that one.
Motivation
In IntelliJ/Datagrip, there is an option to transpose the data grids.
In TablePlus, as you select a row the (much more compact than Tabularis' current editor) sidebar editor changes live to show the selected row's fields vertically.
IntelliJ's option is not good as the default view, but for wide tables it is really useful to have as an option as it's easier to scan.
TablePlus' option is not as good as IntelliJ's for comparing, but makes up for it with an easy filter so you can quickly get to the columns you care about.
Example
When selecting a wide column, you would have an option (most likely in the toolbar right above the column headers) to Transpose the view. That would change your view from:
|
Item |
Price |
Quantity |
| 1 |
Apple |
0.5 |
6 |
| 2 |
Banana |
10 |
1 |
| 3 |
Spaceship |

This view would be worse for rows with only a few columns, but for wide rows you can get more of each row on a single screen in this view, for comparison or scanning.
All other behavior remains the same - you can double click a cell to edit it, open the sidebar editor the same as in the regular view, etc.
