Stated Goal

  • Modern alternative to vim.
  • It is modal-editor.
  • Vim excels best when it comes to editing plain-text or formatted-text, hence ted prefers to stay as close as possible with vim.
  • When it comes to documentation, code-navigation, IDE-capabilities and other less frequently used features of vim, ted prefers modern opinions that make a better use-case.

Visual design

screen  | window 1      | window 2      |
        |               |               |
        |               |               |
        |= status line =|= status line =|
        | window 3                      |

Nomen-clature

screen; window; status-line; tab; command-line; buffer; buffer-list; current-file; alternate-file; insert-mode; normal-node; visual-mode; ex-mode; file-type;

Commandline input

% -> current-file-name # -> alternate-file-name

:f[file] -> buffer's file-status. :f[file]! -> buffer's full file-status. :f[file]! {name} -> set current-buffer's file-name. :buffers -> list of buffers. :files :ls

:keepalt {cmd} Execute {cmd} while keeping the current alternate file name. Note that commands invoked indirectly (e.g., with a function) may still set the alternate file name.

Normal-mode input

CTRL-^ Edit the alternate file. Mostly the alternate file is the previously edited file. This is a quick way to toggle between two files. It is equivalent to ":e #", except that it also works when there is no file name.

|zf| zf define a fold

N CTRL-^ -> toggle between current-file and alternate-file. CTRL-G -> file-status. g CTRL-G -> cursor status.

:[range] Set the cursor on the last line number in [range]. [range] can also be just one line number, e.g., ":1" or ":'m". In contrast with |G| this command does not modify the |jumplist|.

:[range]go[to] [count] :go :goto go [count]go Go to [count] byte in the buffer. Default [count] is one, start of the file. When giving [range], the last number in it used as the byte count.

Postponed

  • All tabs are spaces, defined by tabstop.
  • Line wraps.
  • Visual mode.
  • File Backup.
  • Virtual edit.
