A kilo editor expansion written in C
Basic functionalities of a text editor are done with the exception of copy/paste and undo
The fundamentals of this editor are derived from the kilo editor here
This is a better and more ambitious version of kilo
- Unix System (possibly Bash on Windows too) with x86_64 Arch
- C compiler like
GCC,clang(optional:cmake)
-> Firstly, clone this repository https://github.com/nots1dd/kae
With CMake:
-> Ensure cmake is in your UNIX system and working
-> Run cmake -S . -B build/ that will build all the files as listed in CMakeLists.txt
-> Finally run cmake --build build/ to get a ./build/kae executable
-> Simply run the executable on any file!
With Makefile:
-> Run make in the current directory
-> This will compile the code and link a kae executable
-> Run that executable to enjoy KAE!
Since the current project is not an original creation, there are a LOT of plans to expand
-
1. Integrate ncurses library (for a filetree and others)
-
2. Enable copy and paste and undo
-
3. Add syntax highlighting for other languages (priority:
.py,.sh,.rs,.exe,.conf,.java,.json,.ts) -
4. Possibly integrate tmux/ncurses to create terminals within the editor (have to figure this one out)
-
5. Add a
~/.kilorcfile for some user config capability
The origin of this editor is totally derived from https://github.com/snaptoken/kilo-tutorial
This project is intended to help myself understand more about text editors, along with building upon something already made.
