This repository contains the source code for a CLI text editor called Line Editor.
see the features/ui_rewrite branch for a development version with a much more versatile TUI.
- Working C++ compiler (preferably g++),
make - Ncurses and its panels library
- Terminal with color support
To compile the program, just run make. You can also run make run to automatically start the program afterwards.
When the compilation is done, you can start the editor with
./lineedit filename (supply a new filename to create

To install the program and have it available everywhere, run sudo make install. Same for uninstalling it,
sudo make uninstall.
- There are currently some artificial line number size limitations
Here's lineedit running on a live system:
