Goed: Terminal based code/text editor

GoEd

Goed is a Terminal based code/text editor, somewhat inspired by Acme.

CURRENT STATE: It's currently in ALPHA and has not been spread around much yet.

I use it as my day to day editor and it "works on my machine"(TM) It has not been tested much beyond that yet, there are many open bugs and TODO's .

Early screenshot (6/2/2015):

Of course typically I have a much large window and resolution such as this screenshot .

Installation

Note: Might distribute binaries once stable.

Prerequities:

Have Go(Golang) installed Setup a good monospace terminal font and size (ie: Deja Vu Sans Mono or Monaco, size 10 or so.) # Have your GOPATH set properly go get github.com/tcolar/goed/...

To run it:

export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin #(goed & goed_api must be in your $PATH) goed <path(s)>

Quick start:

Use right click or Ctrl+O to open a dir/file. Use CTRL+T to start a terminal view ($SHELL) Supported terminals

In theory it should work with any terminal, however the level of support for things like mouse support or extended colors vary a lot, here is a short list of tested setups so far:

Long story short is use gnome-terminal on linux, iTerm2 on OsX (with right click menu disabled) .

Linux:

Linux / GnomeTerminal : My usual setup, works great. Linux / Lxerminal : Works well but does not support mouse events above 256 columns. Linux / Konsole : Works well, seems mouse events are slightly offset ? Linux / Terminator : Works ok, but can't use right click for "open" action.

OSX (barely tested so far) :

OSX / Iterm2 : Pretty good, better if disabling right click context menu under "preferences -> pointer" . OSX / Term.app : Don't bother ... Keyboard / Mouse shortcuts

Eventually the plan is to make all the Keyboard and mouse events configurable, but for now here they are:

Action Linux Mac (iTerm2) Close view / window LeftClick on 'x' same or CTRL+W same Copy line/selection text (1) CTRL+C same Cut+Copy line/selection text CTRL+X same Execute command bar Enter same Navigate views CTRL+Arrows SHIFT+Arrrows Open Terminal view CTRL+T same Open path (in New view) RightClick same or CTRL+O same Open path (in current view) ALT+O N/A - TBD Paste text CTRL+V same Quit Goed CTRL+Q same Redo CTRL+Y same Reload view (not saving changes) CTRL+R same Resize / Move view & columns (2) LeftClick top left same Save view (to file) CTRL+S same Select all CTRL+A same Select word Dbl LeftClick same Swap views (4) Dbl LC top left same Undo CTRL+Z same Text selection (3) Mouse drag same or SHIFT+move N/A Toogle command bar ESC same (1) : In terminal mode, copies if there is a selection, otherwise pass CTRL+C (2) : You click the top left corner of a view (checkmark icon) to initiate the move, then click again where you want to drop it. (3) : Can use Shift + [Arrows, PgUp, PgDown, Home, End]. (4) : Double click the top left corner of the view (checkmark icon) to switch that view with the previous current view. Terminal

Start a new Terminal with CTRL+T, it will be started in the same path as the current view.

The terminal implements basic vt100 support, enough for things such as top and interactive git to work.

Note that while in a terminal a limited number of global shortcuts are enabled.

Terminal actions

The Terminal provides a few builtin shortcuts, such as:

sz : Set the shell tty rows/cols to match the current goed view size. o <path> : To open a given path/location in goed (or just right click it) s [-i] <pattern> [path] : Search text (grep -rn[i] [path]) f <pattern> [path] : Find files (find -name pattern )

Seeres/default/actions for more info.

You may create your own actions in ~/.goed/ations/ Seeres/Readme.md.

Command bar

The command bar is at the top of the screen. you can toggle it by clicking it or using the key.

Note: The command bar will likely go away in favor of terminal actions or be replaced by something more useful such as sam like commands.

Currently it supports a few things:

o <path> : Opens a file or directory. : <linenumber> : Goes to the secified line. / <pattern> : Search pattern (grep) Anything else will just be executed (via shell) in a new view. Configuration

The config file can be edited at ~/.goed/config.toml (The original is under ~/.goed/default/)

You may create custom themes under ~/.goed/themes/ (originals under ~/.goed/default/themes/)

You may create/override actions under ~/.goed/actions/ .
