pep

A minimal orthogonal Vim-like clone.

Current features

• Basic editing tasks
  • Insert mode
  • Delete, join text and lines
  • Undo (partially implemented)
  • Read file
  • Write file
  • Basic piping out (with | to read from pipe or ! to filter the entire buffer through command)
  • Searching (by piping out to grep)
• ~1000 SLOC (goal is to stay under 2K - less if possible)

Design

• There's a buffer
• The buffer has a linked-list of lines
• Motions
  • Motions just move the cursor from one place to another. In code they're prefixed with an m_
• Edits
  • Edits track the difference between two motions and perform some transformation on the inbetween

TODO

• Make usable (i.e. fix crashes...)
• Have config header
• Make keybindings easier to configure
• Make extensibility easier
