A barebone V EDitor remplementation

vaed

V-Atto EDitor or VAed for short is a basic text editor written in V. This application was designed to be the most basic text editor possible, and is not intended to be a full-featured text editor. This program exists for the sole purpose of making a simple OS distribution with V-based userland programs only.

Supports:

• Opening files
• p: print the current line
• d: delete the current line
• a: append text after the current line
• h: print help
• H: Disable human-readable help mode
• c: Edit the current line
• q: quit
• w: write to file
• n: print the current line number and the line itself

Maybe in the future:

• s: Search for a string
• Basic QoF Improvements
• Others ed commands
