Fervor
======
**Disclaimer: Changes to the veandco/go-sdl2 packages since the development of
this software may have created problematic incompatibilities, which I do not
plan to investigate anytime soon. If you would like to try Fervor, I recommend
compiling against a veandco/go-sdl2 commit from September 2015.**
A graphical, modeless, cross-platform text editor influenced by Acme, vi, and
even Notepad. Features include:
- Infinite undo
- Unicode (UTF-8) support
- Regular expression search
- Acme-like right-click find
- No GUI toolkit dependencies
- Quick startup and low memory footprint
- Asynchronous shell command execution and selection filtering
- Basic syntax highlighting (currently for: Bash, C, CSS, Go, HTML, INI,
JavaScript, JSON, Lua, Make, Python, Ruby, and SVG)
Not included:
- A scrollbar.
- Tabs or panes. Use a good window manager instead!
