It makes no assumptions about a user's desired editing style and leaves most functionality up to implementation and configuration plugins.

  • FAST
  • Dependency free
  • Layered frame management
  • 24-bit truecolor support
  • Dynamic key bindings and key sequences
  • Undo/redo
  • Live find and replace
  • Customization/extension via plugins

Plugins

yed plugins are shared libraries (typically written in C) that use the various facilities provided by the core editor to implement customization and add additional functionality. A plugin may:

  • Add commands
  • Set/unset variables
  • Define key bindings
  • Manipulate buffers and frames
  • Define styles
  • Register event handlers, allowing it to:
    • Control how text is drawn
    • Intercept keystrokes
    • Programmatically send keystrokes
    • Perform actions on save
    • More!
