phi-editor
Phi is a minimal text editor designed to look pretty, run fast, and be easy to configure and use. It's primary function is for editing code.Note that this is a work in progress and is very buggy! The editor is written as if it's a game, so it will probably eat up your battery, as well as run possibly quite slow - especially if you dont have a dedicated GPU - and probably crash frequently.
Do not edit your precious files with this editor!
Here's a screenshot of the editor:
goals
The editor must:
- run fast;
- load and edit large files with ease;
- look pretty; and finally
- be easy to use
reporting bugs/troubleshooting
Note the editor is still unstable. Please report any bugs you find so I can squash them! It is appreciated if you skim the issue handler to make sure you aren't reporting duplicate bugs.
before filing an issue
Just to make sure it's an issue with the editor currently and not due to a broken change, please:
- make sure the repository is up to date
- make sure all the dependencies are updated, especially "github.com/felixangell/strife"
- try removing the ~/.phi-config folder manually and letting the editor re-load it
building
You'll need Go with the GOPATH, GOBIN, etc. setup, as well as SDL2, SDL2_image, and SDL2_ttf. Here's an example for Ubuntu:
$ sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev libsdl2-image-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev
$ go get github.com/felixangell/phi-editor
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/felixangell/phi-editor
$ go build
$ ./phi-editor
If you're on macOS, you can do something like this, using homebrew:
$ brew install sdl2 sdl2_image sdl2_ttf
$ go get github.com/felixangell/phi-editor
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/felixangell/phi-editor
$ go build
$ ./phi-editor
If you're on windows, you have my condolences.
configuration
Configuration files are stored in $HOME/.phi-editor/config.toml
. Note that
this directory is created on first startup by the editor, as well as the configuration
files in the 'cfg/' directory are pre-loaded dependening on platform: see 'cfg/linuxconfig.go', for example.
Below is a (non-exhaustive) configuration file to give you an idea of what the config files are like:
