bedd: The weird editor

NOTE: This editor is not meant to be used by anyone other than me, @segfaultdev, as this is a project adapted to my usage and needs, so please don't submit any pull requests changing core functionality(specially the python and Java checks), and instead create your own fork. If you do so, please let me know so I can add a link to it below!

bedd is a tiny tab-based terminal text editor with mouse support, syntax highlighting, indentation and other features.

Features

  • Simple and familiar keybindings(Ctrl+C for copying, Ctrl+Q for quitting, Ctrl+F for searching, etc.)
  • Fully complete mouse support(mousewheel for scrolling, draggable scrollbar, clickable tabs, selectable text, etc.)
  • Doesn't force the use of the mouse either(page buttons for scrolling, Ctrl+Left/Right for tab switching, etc.)
  • Syntax highlighting, indentation and parentheses closing
  • Clean and tidy user interface
  • Scrollable tree view(closing the editor or opening a new terminal and doing ls is too tedious, let's be honest)

Forks!

Forks that remove the python + Java check(good forks):

  • @aa2006's fork
  • @kushagra765's fork This fork not only removes the check, but also uses the Makefile system, so it's good
  • @DamieFC's fork Hasn't removed the check yet, but his changes to README.md make it look like he will soooooooooooooooooo
