Dim

Dim is a simple terminal-based text editor inspired by Vim. Its aim is to provide an easier and less functional alternative to learning Vim.

Installation

Install via Pip

To install using pip, run the following command.

pip install dim-editor

Then, you can launch the editor with

python -m dim

Building Manually

On Windows, you must run this command to install curses.

You can run the editor with

There are tools available to compile the Python application into an executable format. If you decide to use one of these tools, make sure that dim/debug and dim/tutorial are included as subdirectories.
