# GHDcode

This is a featureless but very fast text editor written in C++ using raylib.

I wanted to understand how text editors work under the hood.

## Features

- Display basic text

- Line numbers

- Zoom in and out

- Change vertical line spacing

- Cursor movment

## How to use

- Use `Ctrl + Q` to zoom out and `Ctrl + E` to zoom in

- Use `Shift + Q` to decrease the vertical spacing and `Shift + E` to increase the vertical spacing

- Use `Ctrl + G` to toggle the debug grid

- Use Arrow keys to move the cursor

- Type any character to insert a character (lower+upper case, numbers)

- Type `Backspace` to delete a character

- Type `Tab` to insert 4 spaces

## TODO

View TODO.md for a list of features to be implemented.
