This repository will contain my coding practice, making a text editor from scratch.
I based this practice from this wonderful resource: Build Your Own Text Editor.
For the time being, I am going to stick with the instructions there while learning how to make this text editor.
When I do finish making this text editor according to the resource, I want to make this text editor more useful with more functionality and customizability. I wish this text editor could be somewhat similar to vi / vim, but we'll see.
-
Break up the program into separate files with header files
-
Implement modes (normal, insert, visual) like vi / vim
-
Implement line numbering (static and relative) like vi / vim
You can build this project provided that you have a C compiler such as
gcc or clang or tcc and the like and also make
The project isn't going to need external libs. The project is supposed to use only the standard C libs.
