Double click a tab name — or press F2 — and it becomes an input field. The
rename goes to disk, in the same folder, with the extension kept out of the
selection and the syntax highlighting following the new one. Moving stays
"save as": a path in the field is refused, and an existing file is never
overwritten.

Every question Rui asks now comes from Rui itself rather than from the system,
and the one about unsaved work finally has the third answer it always needed:
save, discard, or don't close after all. Enter is Save and Escape is Cancel,
so both keys do the thing that destroys nothing. The dot marking unsaved
changes moved out of the close button and in front of the file name, where
hovering can no longer hide it.

The shortcut sheet gained a selection category, eight more motions and a
group that collects every ":" command in one place; the chosen category now
survives typing, and Tab cycles through them. :set wrap, :set number and
:set relativenumber write into Rui's own settings and survive a restart.

The README was rebuilt around six screenshots, with the logo and badges up top.

Install

Linux

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vikingjunior12/Rui/main/install.sh | bash

Then rui file.txt in a terminal, or Rui in the application launcher.
Remove it again with ~/.local/share/rui/install.sh --uninstall.

Windows

rui-setup.exe to install, rui.exe to just run it, rui-setup.msi for
Intune and GPO. Not code-signed, so SmartScreen warns on first launch
(More info → Run anyway).
