I think the original lite scratched the itch of just being very, very simple. This is a bit less simple, but still decidedly more so than many other editors. It has very few dependencies, statically builds, and is just…
If you want a bit better discoverability; you may want to try the `addons` release; it comes with a settings plugin that lays out all the settings in GUI so you don't have to go through digging through the source. Could…
This is also my general hope for lite. - Configs in lite are all done in lua files, and there are two files that you can edit without ever having to create a plugin that are automatically loaded by the editor: your…
We actually do have one, about to be released: https://github.com/adamharrison/lite-xl-plugin-manager Comes with a plugin to provide a gui in lite-xl. Once this gets to 1.0, we'll probably start bundling it with the…
This is configurable. I use it in my android fork that I use for creative writing, `write-xl` (in case you're interested, here: https://github.com/adamharrison/write-xl ; not really ready for public consumption). You…
I actually authored something for this to work with my workflow on lite-xl (I compile a mid-sized C++ codebase on the regular). It's still not really ready for release, but it's here, in case you're at all interested:…
It's a bit more complicated to add the OpenGL renderer, because of subpixel font rendering. You need to sample the framebuffer to do it correctly in all cases, as well as a custom shader. It's on the list of things to…
Honestly, the thing that made me step into this project was actually this plugin interface. Adding support for halfway decent Perl syntax highlighting took literally 5 minutes with no familiarity with the editor at all,…
Yup, word wrap is now a configurable core plugin. There's still a few minor issues with it, but it mostly works as expected.
Yeah; unfortunately, none of the core dev teams work on Macs, so while being known, it's hard to fix on our end. We'll get it eventually.
Yes; F10 enables word wrap. It's a plugin included in the core.
If you're at all interested (though I'm not doing releases yet), I have a fork called 'write-xl' (https://github.com/adamharrison/write-xl), which does have a git plugin that autocommits+pushes to git on double save…
Yes; people have built these before, so it's not really a problem with the source (I've even cross-compiled it for arm android); it's more just not part of the pipeline yet. Given the prevalence of mac, this makes sense…
Yeah, lol. It's a balancing act. Ideally we give it just enough juice to allow for things like native plugins, and the easy expected core stuff like nice font rendering , process management, multicursors, etc.. and then…
The UI is done using an immediate rendering model. It is entirely composed of two rendering operations, drawing solid color rects, or rendering text from a true type font. You can read a bit about the underlying…
It's unlikely that we would include that in core lite-xl due to size and complexity, but we aim to have an extremely robust plugin system (all current syntax definitions come from plugins). It is totally possible to…
rxi, lite's original author, considers lite to be complete, and isn't accepting new feature prs, which is fair enough. lite-xl was forked to keep the same general principle of simplicity but going a bit further with…
Yeah, there's a pre-release here: https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/releases/tag/v2.1.0 There were some minor issues having the dev team get a working macbook that could test some stuff, to make sure there were no…
That's what I mean. It never returns 0, so is thus always truthy if it finds something. If you do `if (str.indexOf("a"))` in javascript; you'll miss out on the case where the string starts with "a", because the index…
Yeah; the indexing is weird when you're not used to it; but honestly I find starting arrays at 1 is actually incredibly useful for business logic. It's terrible for math, but it allows you to use things like truthiness…
Hey; I'm part of the dev community over at lite-xl; what're your top asks? I can see if we can throw it into the feature queue (though the queue is already pretty long).
No; rxi wrote a rendering cache infront of the renderer. It doesn't require a widget library for this reason; it's able to efficiently implement an immediate renderer. Simplifies the codebase a lot.
