Modred

Modern editor

About

Modern is a Modern editor implemented in Forth. It’s a line editor. I will try to maintain the compatibility with the ED editor from the CP/M operating system by Digital Research.

Features

• Concurrent DOS keybindings
• Multiple buffers: can correspond to different files, to different content copied, to drafts…
• Editing of multiple files
• Will try to make it customizable and extensible using the FORTH programming language

Code Organization

There are two main modules which correspond to the two modes:

• Insert mode: allows to input text directly into the buffer
• Command mode: allows to execute commands on buffers
