Hmm, interesting genesis: > When it was 2014 or 2015, we had some big events in Russia (Crimea related) so many people here were excited. I was too, so I wanted to program some new project. https://sourceforge.net/blog/march-2020-community-choice-project-month-cudatext/ https://sourceforge.net/blog/march-2020-community-choice-pro...

So it started as a celebretion of the annexation of Crimea by Russia?

  It could be, "With all the excitement going on, finding a nice programming project to distract me seemed like a good idea."

    We need to make sure this isn’t the neutral-connotation usage of the word “excitement”. A plane crashing into the neighbors house can be “exciting”.

    The word you are referring to is "čuda" or equivalently in cyrilic "чуда" pronounced "chuda".

  The CudaText author is here. No, I did not celebrate the Crimea 'annexation' (in local Ru talks, we cannot name it 'annexation', we must name it 'reunion'). But I was reading such big amount of news at that time, in 2014, that I was excited only from this wave of news. Many patriotic people in Rus were happy and welcomed that. Many opposition people in Rus were not happy and did not welcome that. But the wave of news was very big. For me the Crimea was not positive news. I never have been in Crimea. I never got the FREE ticket to rest in Crimea. The rest in Crimea is not cheep. In 2014 and in 2022. It costs big amount.

    Any chance you can add code completion to python terminal? That would make cuda-text a super-editor on the level of vim and emacs but easier to use.

      'Python terminal' is 'Console panel', do you mean it? Yes we have the plugin for that! "Plugins / Addon manager / Install", item "Console auto-completion". Ctrl+Space hotkey will work in console.

    Yesterday was about to install CudaText, but as usually with such software, before jumping to anything started to read about your project and you and accidentally got to that quote mentioned above. I must admit, it got me spooked. I have a lot of respect to people who do contribute to open source so I do to you, but in current situation my concern is actually safety and trust. For example I don't think I can give you a trust to binary packages, like in this case: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cudatext-gtk2-bin https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cudatext-gtk2-bin Even if they are not containing anything malicious at this moment, it can happen at any time later, especially after gaining a trust of significant amount of devs. And even with your best intentions I can clearly see a scenario where it will happen against your will or even without your knowledge. You know - it is different thing to trust you, and different thing to trust your state... Anyway, hope this whole war madness (or "special operation" as you're allowed to call it) will end soon.
