# `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`.
