Nice work! The TUI looks really sharp and I like the histogram on top. Going to play with this today.

TIL awk patterns can be more than just regexes and can be combined with boolean operators. I've written a bit of awk and never realized this.

There's a ton of overlap between "powerful stuff that's easy to write in (g)awk" and "powerful stuff that's trivial to write in perl", but I find awk to be succinct without losing readability.
