Introduction

A C++ terminal text editor for Linux. Unlike my other editor, tr-ed, this aims to be simpler, faster to use and at least a bit more practical. For help on how to use the editor, press Ctrl+H while in the editor.

Features

• Basic text editing
• Scrolling (horizontal, vertical)
• Ruler
• Scrollbar
• File i/o
• Tabs
• Config files
• Themes
• Command line
• Mouse input
• Selection
• Copy/cut/paste

Bugs

• If the current line has tabs and you click at the end of the line to position the cursor there, the cursor will be offset to the left by tab size * tabs count

If you find any bugs, please create an issue and report them.
