This is a source code text editor that focuses on performance. With the help of different data structures and algorithms, this editor offers superior performance over popular existing editors (Vim, Nano, Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text...), as it enables efficient editing operations and manages huge files (that would otherwise crash or stall other editors).
It is written in C++. There is also an incomplete port (95%) to C (branch c-rereimpl).
It currently supports the following features:
- Fast editing operations (insertion and deletion, copy and paste, find and replace…);
- Autocompletion;
- Extensible syntax highlight;
- Vim-like navigation;
- Buffer management.
Here is the repository of the project on GitHub.

jaledit is greatly inspired by Vim, one of my favorite text editors. Most features in jaledit are copied from Vim, including the keybindings and the functionalities, but with my own twists.
