Dido is a specific text editor for the D language.
Status: Design failure. Multiple problems were met. Better start anew.
What's inside
- Multiple cursors editing
- dido contains a small GUI package built on top of SDL2 renderers
- portable graphics, SDL 2.x is the only dependency: https://www.libsdl.org/
- minimal DUB integration
Current limitations
- currently not configurable
- no file browser
- Multiple views not supported
- only UTF-8 files support (load and save)
- command language is very incomplete
- currently no syntax highlighting
- see Issues for more limitations
Inspiration
-
dido's internals were heavily inspired by kakoune, a much more advanced and general editor. https://github.com/mawww/kakoune
-
Sublime Text is an inspiration for various things like multiple cursors
-
Visual Studio is an inspiration for UI
Compiling
- Build with DUB (a 2.066+ front-end is required)
- Use recent SDL 2.x binaries
