About

-----

ce is my minimalistic editor I use on a day-to-day basis.

Is this editor for you? Definitely not, it is highly opinionated

and tailored to my requirements.

License

-------

Coma Editor is licensed under the ISC license.

Building

--------

ce should build fine on MacOS, Linux and OpenBSD.

OpenBSD:

```

$ make

$ doas make install

```

MacOS:

```

$ make

$ sudo make install

```

Linux:

```

$ env CFLAGS=-D_GNU_SOURCE make

$ sudo make install

```

Key bindings

------------

ce uses a modal approach to editing much like vi.

**normal mode key bindings**

zz           = center view on line at cursor

zt           = set current line as top of editor

k            = move up one row

j            = move down one row

h            = move left one byte

l            = move right one byte

$            = jump to end of line

0            = jump to start of line

s            = enter select mode

ctrl-f       = page down

ctrl-b       = page up

x            = delete byte under cursor

n            = search forward for next occurance of search

N            = search backwards for previous occurance of search

i            = enter insert mode

o            = enter insert mode and add newline below cursor

O            = enter insert mode and add newline above cursor

:            = enter command mode

/            = enter search mode

§            = jump to scratch buffer

ctrl-r       = show list of buffers

ctrl-d       = directory listing of directory of active buffer

ctrl-z       = suspend ce

[num]dd      = delete number of lines

[num]yy      = yank number of lines

[num]w       = jump to next word

[num]b       = jump to previous word

ai     = alter inside string with given character (" or ').

di     = delete inside string with given character (" or ').

ctrl-w-k     = kill active process

**insert mode key bindings**

arrow keys   = navigate around

esc          = back to normal mode

**buffer list key bindings**

k            = move up one row

j            = move down one row

enter        = select buffer

**command mode**

l            = load directory listing

q            = quit ce

w            = write active buffer

e            = open specified file

bc           = close current buffer

ctrl-p       = previous buffer

ctrl-n       = next buffer

Select-execute

--------------

The select-execute function of ce allows you to select a string inside

the editor and get it to the execute it as a command by hitting enter.

Depending on the contents of the selection ce will:

    - Open the selection if its a file.

    - Create a dirlist if its a directory.

    - Execute 'git show ' if its a git hash.

    - Execute the selection as a program if its a binary.

The output is either placed in a new buffer or if executed from

the scratch buffer, at the end of said buffer.
