# PyPixelArt - A keyboard-centric pixel editor

![amogus_pixelart](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/38195951/164997677-c68e59b1-714b-47e9-9f07-f01f689a5578.gif)

The idea behind PyPixelArt is uniting:
- a [cmdpxl](https://github.com/knosmos/cmdpxl) inspired pixel image editor applied to pixel art.
- [vim](https://github.com/vim/vim) 's keyboard-centric approach to improve productivity. Pretty hard to do with an image editor, but it'll be fun to try xD
- Some very useful functionalities from [aseprite](https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite) and other pixel art editors, such as screen symmetry.
