hare-kilo

A small text editor written in Hare. Loosely based on the kilo text editor, though the similarities are few.

Build and run:

make
./kilo <filename>

Controls:

• Arrow keys: move
• Home, end, page up, page down: Move faster
• Ctrl+S: Save
• Ctrl+Q: Quit
• Any ASCII character: insert

If ctrl+s and ctrl+q are not being detected, add stty -ixon to your shell init script to disable shell freezing. The planned input overhaul should address this issue.

Todo:

• Overhaul input handling to allow unicode input (kitty escape codes)
• Syntax highlighting
• Reduce terminal CPU usage when holding keys
• Vim mode?
