Tex is a minimalist text editor for bash terminals, written in c, with 0 dependencies. The reason for starting this project was to have a fun way to implement all the knowledge I've recently learned in school. Especially since my school projects have been less exciting, a 64Kb Memory allocator for a recent example. Has no relation to the typesetting system, TeX.
- lightweight minimalist editor with all the basic features you'd expect
- Robust incremental search with ability to jump between matches
- Filetype detection
- Language based syntax highlighting
- Open source
