The Tea Text Editor

Tea aims to be an extensible, fast, modern text editor.

Also, more information can be found at hack.withtea.party.

Features

  • Efficient, modal- and mode-based text editing
  • Define-your-own text objects
  • Responsive (not in the web way, in the performance way), modern, customizeable user interface
  • Easily configurable via text files
  • Easy interoperability with external tools via both key-based triggers and text-based interfaces (using asynchronous processing when available)
  • Ease-of-use features including autocompletion, documentation support, and semantic highlighting.
  • Fine-grained syntax highlighting control

No plugins?

Maybe. For right now, the plan is to simply use Tea macros and external tools, but if that proves insufficient, a plugin system will be designed.

Other UIs?

Maybe. For right now, Tea will be focused on creating an efficient UI toolkit based on OpenGL. However, if there is a need to decouple the core from the UI this will be done in a way that allows for different UI implementations.
