Looks much like vim, what's the differentiation? vim is also super extensible with plugins - one of the biggest reason to use it.

- forgotpwd16 4y agoIt isn't anything like vim since it doesn't utilize a modal paradigm. Rather what mle means with modes is different keymaps depending on context, i.e. replace grep with git grep if .git exists. If you want to compare to something else, it can said it's a more advanced (aforementioned keymaps, splittable windows, and others) Lua-extensible nano.
- Aperocky 4y agoThat's too bad, I was assuming it does. Modal editing is definitely a must for terminal editors, and generally good for all editors.
- ghosty141 4y agoMy guess is the idea is that you can easily extend and customize it since the code base is kept small and simple (10k loc seems quite neat). I'm personally not the crowd who'd use this kind of software. My preference is emacs which has a different philosophy when it comes to "hacking" the editor. This project might be something for the suckless crowd.
