qn is a text editor which is designed to be lightweight, easily modifiable, and entirely written in C.
Inspired by antirez's kilo, the idea is to write a text editor and explore C.
Writing a text editor will probably be boring, but by keeping the scope limited and the feature set small, I hope to be able to get back into C for a little bit and add some weights to my proverbial bat.
qn is super lightweight, make sure you have gcc installed and c99.
which gcc
> /usr/bin/gcc
Make sure a result or something similar comes up to make sure gcc is set up as a compiler.
To run do the following:
make
You should then get an executable called qn which can be run as so:
./qn
You can quit with CTRL-C or CTRL-D
