nate-editor

Nate 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 re-write of the initial editor that I wrote last year. It's still a work in progress and is very buggy!

goals

The editor must:

• run at 60 fps;
• load and edit large files with ease;
• look pretty; and finally
• be easy to use

building

You'll need veandco/sdl2 and veandco/SDL2_ttf, as well as BurntSushi/toml and vinzmay/go-rope.

$ go get github.com/felixangell/nate

configuration

Configuration files are stored in $HOME/.nate-editor/config.toml, here's an example, which just so happens to be the defualt configuration:

[editor]
tab_size = 2
hungry_backspace = true
tabs_are_spaces = true
match_braces = false

[render]
aliased = true

[theme]
background = "0xfdf6e3"
foreground = "0x7a7a7a"
cursor = "0x657B83"
