CodeAstra ~ Modern Code Editor


CodeAstra is a modern, extensible, and lightweight code editor built using C++ and Qt6, designed to offer a fast, customizable, and feature-rich development experience. Inspired by NeoVim and VSCode, it **will** provide efficient file navigation, syntax highlighting, and a powerful plugin system, making it an ideal choice for developers who need speed, flexibility, and control. With a focus on performance and usability, the editor **will** support split views, an integrated terminal, customizable key bindings, and seamless Git integration, catering to both beginners and power users.

> [!NOTE]

> 

> CodeAstra is **under active development**—stay tuned for updates or feel free to contribute and help shape its future!

> [!IMPORTANT]

> 

> This project has been tested on macOS, but not Windows or Linux. It should work on Linux without issues. However, you might encounter errors on Windows. To address cross-platform compatibility, Docker will be implemented soon for development.
