README

        # Nev

![Build](https://github.com/Nimaoth/Nev/actions/workflows/main.yml/badge.svg?event=push)

This is still very early in developement and very experimental. Use at your own risk!

Nev is a text editor focused on keyboard usage, customizability and speed which runs in the terminal and in a GUI.

It also aims to provide tools for writing code out of the box, like Git integration, syntax highlighting using [Treesitter](https://tree-sitter.github.io/tree-sitter/), language integration using [LSP](https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol) and debugging using [DAP](https://microsoft.github.io/debug-adapter-protocol/).

I'm also experimenting with a programming languange system where instead of writing the source code as plain text,

the abstract syntac tree (AST) is edited directly (or rather through _projections_, which are still trees).

This feature is not included in release builds, and has to enabled by compiling with `-D:enableAst=true`.

## Features

- Vim motions (incomplete)

- [LSP](docs/lsp.md) (incomplete)

- [Syntax highlighting](docs/treesitter.md) using treesitter (no support for nested languages yet)

- Basic debugging using DAP

- [Fuzzy search for various things](docs/finders.md)

- [Sessions](docs/sessions.md)

- [WASM plugins](docs/configuration.md)

- Basic git integration (list/diff/add/stage/unstage/revert changed files)

- Basic collaborative editing (only two p2p clients supported)

## Installation

Download latest [release](https://github.com/Nimaoth/Nev/releases) or [build from source](docs/building_from_source.md)

## Inspirations

- [NeoVim](https://github.com/neovim/neovim)

- [Helix](https://github.com/helix-editor/helix)

- [Zed](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed)

- [JetBrains MPS](https://github.com/JetBrains/MPS)

- [Dion Systems Editor](https://dion.systems/gallery.html)

## Important notes if you intend to use it

- Current only UTF-8 encoded files are supported

- Language servers, debug adapters have to installed manually at the moment, treesitter parsers require [emscripten](https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten)

- Read the [docs](docs/getting_started.md)
