## How to Find and Replace Text on Tux?
### 1. Find
To find a text using a pattern such as the word `world`, press `Ctrl+f` then simply type te word `world` and press Enter.
You can also pass flags, to search case insensetve word `world`, type the word first, then along with a forward slash type `f=`
and pass the flag `i`. For example, `world/f=i`
You can also use regex instead of searching the word, `however keep in mind that the regex should be typed without starting and ending forward slahes`
For example: `h.*ld`, You can also pass flags using a forward slash and `f=` command.
### 2. Find and Replace
To find and replace a text, press `Ctrl+f`, now type a forward slash first, it is very important that you start the word that you want to find and replace starts with a forward slash. Then type the word for example `world`, then again type a forward slash and type the command `r=` , type the word that you want to replace with.
For example: `/world/r=earth`, You can also use regex and use flags, For example: `/w.*ld/r=earth/f=gi`
## What is used for Tux development?
For ease of developing Tux is styled with tailwindcss and there are few JS libraries and CSS helpers that have been used during the developing process which are mentioned below:
1. `hilightjs` - For syntax highlighting, language detection and overall code editor themes.
2. `markjs` - To mark specific words during search
3. `devicon` - Display various programming languages icons
4. `caret_position.js` - To get the caret position in the textarea ([Link](https://github.com/component/textarea-caret-position))
5. `fontawesome` - For Font Icons
## TODOS
1. Custom Config File to configure Tux Editor.
2. Improve Performance and Fix existing Bugs.
3. Add Custom Themes.
4. Create Tux API's for extension development.
5. Integrating LSP and more robust features.
