k10231 / Text-Editor

A text editor created in C which supports all features expected from a minimal text editor with no dependencies

J.A.T.E.

Just Another Terminal-based Editor (JATE) is an attempt to make a fully functional bare bones text editor in C ( without any dependencies by directly manipulating terminal via VT100 escape sequences )

Insipred from kilo text editor

Status : Beta Version

The editor can now :

• View already existing file on the system.
• Edit a text file
• Check if the file is in modified state or not ( and warn if you try to exit a modified file without saving )
• Save chagnes to the open file ( using Ctrl-s )
• Quit (using Ctrl-q )

---

But still it can't :

• Create a new file
• Save a blank file ( Save-as feature )
• support text highlithing for C/C++

⚠️ WARNING: The software is still in Beta version so if you planning to use it, I suggest making regular backups of your work in case you run into bugs in the editor.

Platform supported

Linux, macOS, windows(with cygwin)

Get it running

• git clone or download

• navigate to the repository

• run a make command on your terminal to compile source ( if you don't have gnu-make then you can also manually compile the source code (src/editor.c) with a standard C compiler )

• run exectuatable with the name editor

$ cd text-editor
$ make
$ ./editor <optional: file name that you want to open>
