[Request] Sentence and/or Segment coding

[antoniusj]

(1) your package writes the data to a word-split CSV file. However, in my qualitative analyses I would prefer to code larger segments of data (entire sentences / even multiple segments).

I’m even not opposed to splitting into words for the coding process (although it’s certainly not helpful), but would I be able to put the words ‘together’ again after the coding? The only practical approach I see in your documentation would be to ‘fake’ the data by adding [~~] everywhere to trick the program into keeping my segments together.

I think the components to create this functionality should already be there (sentence detection, export with dummy's, import with codes, and analysis options can be adjusted to fit with regular qualitative research (coding/recoding/grouping cases) so this minor change might make the program way more interesting for a wider audience of qualitative researchers.
