*Description : terminal-based text editor
A terminal based text editor.
Keyboard shortcuts are similar to the default editors in Gnome, KDE and
other desktop environments. This is to ease workflows alternating
between GUIs and terminal.
The look and feel is a blend of modern GUI editors and late 90s PC text
mode editors (e.g. Turbo Vision based or edit.com) adapted to fit into
terminal based workflows.
It has been written from scratch using Tui Widget.
It implements many features like:
- selecting text by holding Shift
- usable without a complicated config file
- block selection
- multi windows (overlapping, tiled, fullscreen)
- text from full width windows can be copied from the terminal without
window borders, scrollbars or additional spaces interfering.
- syntax highlighting
- undo/redo
- display line numbers
- soft-wrapping of long lines
- interactive search and replace (with regular expression support)
- go-to line (and column) command
- support stdin buffers
- drop down menus
