A bare bones text editor, written in Go\n\nFor this project I will be using [termbox-go](https://github.com/nsf/termbox-go),\na minimalistic API for text-based user interfaces.\n\nMy objective is to create a simple terminal based text editor, like [vi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vi_(text_editor)),\nwith the base functionality\n\nIndex:\n\n- [Installation](https://github.com/AlejandroSuero/GoEdit#installation)\n- [Supported commands](https://github.com/AlejandroSuero/GoEdit#supported-commands)\n\n## Installation\n\nTo start using this editor, first thing you need is to install **Go** -\u003e [golang's official site](https://go.dev/).\n\nOnce **Go** is installed, go to your terminal clone this repository.\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/AlejandroSuero/GoEdit\n```\n\n\u003e Note: If you don't have git installed, go to -\u003e [git's official site](https://git-scm.com/) or select at the top where it is a green button that says \"Code ▼\" and next \"Download ZIP\".\n\nNext, go into the directory where you have it cloned.\n\n```bash\n# This will initialize the project\ngo init goedit\n\n# This will download the dependencies\ngo mod tidy\n```\n\nFinally, you can build the project and start using it.\n\n```bash\n# For UNIX users\ngo build -o goedit editor.go\n./goedit \u003cpath-to-the-file-or-leave-it-empty-for-a-welcome-message\u003e\n\n# For Windows users\ngo build -o goedit.exe editor.go\n.\\goedit.exe \u003cpath-to-the-file-or-leave-it-empty-for-a-welcome-message\u003e\n```\n\nFor now, check the commands and GoEdit those files 🫡\n\n## Supported commands\n\nThese are the commands which are currently supported.\n\n\u003e Note: Commands are case sensitive\n\n### Normal mode commands\n\n| Command | Description |\n|---|---|\n| `Q` | Exits the editor|\n| `!Q` | Forces the exit. (Useful if you don't want to write your changes) |\n| `w` | Writes file |\n| `i` | Enters insert mode one character before |\n| `I` | Enters insert mode at the beginning of the line |\n| `a` | Enters insert mode one character after |\n| `A` | Enters insert mode at the end of the line |\n| `o` | Inserts a new line bellow the cursor and enters insert mode |\n| `O` | Inserts a new line on top of the cursor and enters insert mode |\n| `j` or `ArrowDown` | Moves cursor down `n` times. Ex: If `j` is pressed it will move once, if `2` and then `j` are pressed it will move it twice. Any number is valid, and `2ArrowDown` as well |\n| `k` or `ArrowUp` | Moves cursor up `n` times. Ex: If `k` is pressed it will move once, if `2` and then `k` are pressed it will move twice. Any number is valid, and `2ArrowUp` as well |\n| `l` or `ArrowRight` | Moves cursor right `n` times. Ex: If `l` is pressed it will move once, if `2` and then `l` are pressed it will move twice. Any number is valid, and `2ArrowRight` as well |\n| `h` or `ArrowLeft` | Moves cursor left `n` times. Ex: If `h` is pressed it will move once, if `2` and then `h` are pressed it will move twice. Any number is valid, and `2ArrowLeft` as well |\n| `PageUp` | Moves the cursor half a page up |\n| `PageDown` | Moves the cursor half a page down |\n| `gg` | Moves the cursor to the beginning |\n| `G` | Moves the cursor to then end of the file |\n\n### Insert mode commands\n\n| Command | Description |\n|---|---|\n| `\u003cEsc\u003e` or `\u003cCtrl\u003eq` | Exits insert mode |\n| Basic interactions | Write any character, insert spaces, tabs, delete characters and add new lines |\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Falejandrosuero%2Fgoedit","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Falejandrosuero%2Fgoedit","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Falejandrosuero%2Fgoedit/lists"}
