README
RustyEd
red or RustyEd is a lightweight and minimal text editor which supports multiple-tabs (à la vscode) and which integrates a file browser and a terminal. The editor component supports syntax highlighting via tree-sitter-highlight. lsp support via json-rpc (completions via ctrl+space).
Building
git clone https://github.com/MoAlyousef/red
cd red
cargo build --release
To disable building with tree-sitter and the terminal:
cargo build --no-default-features --release
To build with native wayland support on Linux:
cargo build --features=fltk/use-wayland --release
Known issues
- If you're running KDE and no icons appear in the FileBrowser, you can try setting the KDEDIR to /usr/local.
- Highlighting via tree-sitter seems to vary between different language modules. tree-sitter-json seems quite limited for example.
ToDo
- Add a settings dialog.
- Save and get user settings using fltk Preferences.
- Enable using FLTK's FileChooser instead of the system provided one via the settings.
- Add more options to FileBrowser popup menu and the terminal menu.
- Support user provided color schemes for the app and the highlighting.
