Thank you for your reply. I'm delighted about your interest.

You're right. Sometimes "nrow" and "length" return different results so a quick
check via context menu would be useful (for me). Same with "names" and
"colnames".

> Also, the existing "View" action is meant to serve a somewhat similar purpose

"View" isn't a good choice for an overview of large objects. Clicking at the
tab "print(x)" shows "Fetching information. Please wait." for up to a minute.
The command "head" give results much faster.

This is another possibility.
Sometimes the first tab of the "View" window "summary(x)" also needs some time
to be ready (for large objects). So the first tab should have only a limited
amount of information.

Example:
first tab: various
ncol: ...
nrow: ...
length: ...
(Please both nrow and length)
names: ...
colnames: ...
(Please both names and colnames)

second tab: head(x)

third tab: tail(x)

(or head(x) and tail(x) combined in one tab)

fourth tab: summary(x)

fifth tab: print(x)

sixth tab: str(x)

Regards

Jan
