slap

CLI text editor for the masses

slap strives to make editing from the terminal easier. It has mouse support, Ctrl+C/X/V copy/cut/paste (configurable), syntax highlighting for many languages, and many other features that will make you leave nano, vim, and emacs behind.

Installation

Make sure NodeJS is installed, then:

$ sudo npm install -g slap

Usage

$ slap file.c

Configuration

slap uses rc for configuration management. See the default configuration for keybindings, styles, etc. You can also pass options in via command line:

$ slap --editor.tabSize 2 file.c

Issues

Copying and pasting

Ensure xclip is installed.
