Structural Lua Editor

A "structural editor", letting you efficiently edit your code as a tree rather than just text.

Controls

• e, d, s, f to move up, down, left, right
• i, j, k, l to insert up, down, left, right
• space to insert on the currently selected block
• backspace to delete currently selected block
• x, c, and v are cut, copy, and paste
• ctrl-s to save
• escape to get out of insert mode

If the text you insert matches the name of a block, that block will be inserted instead. For example, type "fn" and then press enter while in insert mode to create a function.

Unimplemented Stuff (So far)

• Undo/Redo
• Support for multiple files (and files not named "save.lua")
• Support for more Lua constructs
• Support for customization
• Support for multiple languages
• Probably a bunch of stuff, but these are the main points

Setup

• Download Lyte2D, currently tested with version 0.7.11.
• Download DejaVu Sans and place DejaVuSans.ttf in this directory. (You need to have a font file in ttf form in this directory, but if you know what you're doing you can modify graphics.lua to use a font other than DejaVuSans).
• Run lyte.exe . in this directory.
