How to build

  • Install the nix package manager.
  • Download JetBrains Mono and place it in a new bin directory in the root of the project.
  • Run nix build .#editor or nix run .#editor.

What is this?

This is an in-development modal text editor inspired by vim but with an actual GUI interface instead of yet another terminal program nobody asked for.

Is it currently usuable to edit files?

Yes, in a technical sense. It can load files, allow you to make edits to said file, and save the file. However, the ergonomics of using the editor aren't quite where I'd like them to be. It's almost at a point where I could bear using it to further improve it, but still wouldn't use it for real work.
