Description:
Modern, legacy free, simple yet efficient vim-like editor
Vis aims to be a modern, legacy free, simple yet efficient editor combining the strengths of both vi(m) and sam. It extends vi's modal editing with support for multiple cursors/selections and combines it with sam's structural regular expression based command language. . As an universal editor it has decent Unicode support and should cope with arbitrary files including: large, binary or single-line ones. Syntax highlighting is provided using Parsing Expression Grammars which can be conveniently expressed using Lua in the form of LPeg. . The editor core is written in a reasonable amount of clean (your mileage may vary), modern and legacy free C code, enabling it to run in resource constrained environments. The implementation should be easy to hack on and encourage experimentation. There also exists a Lua API for in-process extensions. . Vis strives to be simple and focuses on its core task: efficient text management. Clipboard and digraph handling as well as a fuzzy file open dialog are all provided by independent utilities. . The intention is not to be bug for bug compatible with vi(m), instead the aim is to provide powerful editing features based on an elegant design and clean implementation.
