llamaedit

LLamaEdit is a code editor with AI autocompletion powered by LLamaCPP and CodeMirror. You must have llama-server running with a model loaded, I suggest deepcoder 14b or deepseek coder v2 lite. I only have a 4gb card though. Should work on any computer or operating system with a fairly modern web browser. The file operations have keyboard commands, mouse over to see them. Usage should be self-explanatory, alt+backspc to get suggested autocomplete, tab to accept, esc to cancel.

LLamaEdit User Guide

LLamaEdit is a web-based code editor featuring syntax highlighting, linting, theme customization, and AI-powered code completion via a local Llama.cpp server.

Getting Started

• New File:
  • Click File > New File or the New button on the toolbar (Ctrl+N).
  • Enter a File Name (extension helps detect language) and select the Language in the modal. Click Create.
• Open File:
  • Click File > Open File... or the Open button on the toolbar (Ctrl+O).
  • Select a file from your computer using the file picker.
  • If a file with the same name is already open, you'll be prompted to reload it.
• Saving Files:
  • An asterisk (*) next to the filename (in the sidebar and status bar) indicates unsaved changes.
  • File > Save or the Save button on the toolbar (Ctrl+S) saves the current file.
    • If the file hasn't been saved before (or uses the legacy download method), it will act like "Save As".
  • File > Save As... (Ctrl+Shift+S) always prompts you to choose a name and location for the file.

Core Editing Features

• Syntax Highlighting: Automatically applied based on the detected file language (from extension or manual selection).
• Linting (Error/Warning Checking): Automatically runs for supported languages (JS, CSS, HTML, JSON, YAML). Errors/warnings are marked in the left gutter; hover over them for details.
• AI Code Completion:
  • Press Alt+\ to request a code completion suggestion from the connected Llama.cpp server based on the preceding code.
  • The suggestion appears as grayed-out text.
  • Press Tab to accept the suggestion.
  • Press Esc or continue typing to reject the suggestion.

Finding and Replacing Text

• Open the Find/Replace bar via Edit > Find/Replace..., the Find button on the toolbar, or Ctrl+F.
• Find Input: Type your search query here.
  • Press Enter to find the next match.
  • Press Shift+Enter to find the previous match.
• Replace Input: Type the text to replace matches with.
• Buttons:
  • Prev/Next: Navigate through matches.
  • Replace: Replace the currently selected match and find the next one.
  • Replace All: Replace all occurrences in the file.
  • × (Close): Hides the Find/Replace bar (Esc also works).

File Management (Sidebar)

• The left sidebar lists all open files.
• The currently active file is highlighted.
• An asterisk (*) indicates unsaved changes for a file.
• Click a filename to switch to that file.

Customization
