This is a reimplementation of Gary Bernhardts editor which he presented in his Text editor from scratch screen cast. If you haven't yet subscribed to Destroy all software, please do.
The goal of this repo is to have a starting point for playing around with either editor implementation or Clojurescript. It is never meant to be used for actual editing.
To be able to hack on this, you need to install Planck, a nifty Clojurescript REPL that you can read all about here.
On a mac, this is done by
$ brew install planckOn Ubuntu, you install it by doing
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mfikes/planck
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install planckIf you're on Windows, you're on your own.
In order to run the editor, you simply do
$ ./run.sh a-fileThe keybindings in this editor are sort of emacs-based. Which means that
you press C-n, C-p for next line and previous line, respectively.
Now, for this to work you need to be able to insert control characters into
the source. In emacs inserting C-a into your file is done by first pressing C-q and then c-a.
In vi you'd do this by first going into insert-mode, and then pressing C-v followed by a.
In other, inferior, editors, this seems to be a royal PITA, most of them cannot even display control characters correctly.
Please have a look at the issues where I've collected some ideas.
