Description Michael 2022-05-18 13:44:37 UTC
It would be very handy to have an option in Calc to save as TSV, Tab Separated Values. It's a very natural format for operations in unix.

Feature already exists.

Either 'Save a Copy...' dialog, or 'Save As...' dialog.

Select the 'Text CSV (*.csv)' type from the drop list, and *select the 'Edit filter settings'* check box.

In the 'Export Text File' dialog that opens, adjust the 'Field delimiter:' drop list to use the {Tab} value.  A setting made here will be remembered for the next export with the 'Text CSV (*.csv).

If you need the extension changed to .tsv you'll need to do that in your os.

Tab separator selection on the Export to Text File (*.csv) dialog

Select the "{TAB}" entry from the Field Separator, it is persistent for subsequent launches.
