# CodeWizard2
A rewrite of CodeWizard. CodeWizard2 is *probably not* a useful project to anybody besides myself.
*However* it is **much** faster than some IDEs, particularly on laptops (maintaining 60fps until it transitions to 'sleep' mode).
*And* CodeWizard maintains under 100 Mb ram while running. Usually idles around 60-70 Mb (with several files open).
## What's Special?
1. CodeWizard2 now has custom rendering *without* a UI framework like Qt. CodeWizard2 uses OpenGL, and GLFW.
2. CodeWizard2 has a custom written remake of the TextMate highlighting engine (with several known issues) that works pretty well.
3. It contains a custom LSP implementation originally written for CodeWizard.
4. CodeWizard2 is *not* for the average person, there are a lot of undocumented features and key bindings. Which I am *not* changing right now.
5. We use a 'panel' such that you can have whatever arrangement of elements you want.

I'm not showing off. You are. (This is the amazing widget system I designed)
## Widgets
CodeWizard2 uses `widgets`, of which we have:
1. Editor View (code, images)
2. File Tree
3. Settings Menu
4. File Compare (compairs two files)
5. AI Chat
6. LSP Debug Window
7. Terminal
## Quick Note
CodeWizard2 is only available on Windows. There is a modal option (which I quite enjoy but doesn't match any other editors) available in the settings.
## Important Key Bindings:
1. Ctrl+Shift+P focus the command palette.
2. Ctrl+Shift+O change project folder.
3. Ctrl+O open file.
4. Ctrl+Shift+U run project search through command palette.
5. Ctrl+> or Ctrl+< to jump brackets.
6. F5 run programs
## Out Of The Box
Out of the box, CodeWizard comes with a beautiful UI, Cascadia Code font, TextMate files for a bunch of languages, and `pypls`. Pypls is my LSP originally designed for python, but does pretty well in general.
## To install:
1. Download and run installer (in the releases section)
2. To add new languages languages for CodeWizard, open the file `C:\Users\\AppData\Local\CodeWizard\languages.json` (an example file is below)
3. For every language, you will likely want a TextMate file which you can point to in the languages.json (note `%INSTALL_DIR%` will be replaced with `C:\Users\\AppData\Local\CodeWizard`) - the TextMate language files can be found here: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/tree/main/extensions (look for .tmLanguage.json)
4. Project specific settings can be created via opening the settings panel and pressing 'Project Specific' which will create a json file and give you the path. This can be used to set specific LSPs and the project build command.
