Cool. Compiled easily, made a binary that does look like a text editor, let me make new files and edit an existing one. Only linked against libc, about a thousand lines of C.<p>So yeah, that is indeed a working text editor that doesn't link against ncurses and the like. Smaller than I would have expected it to be.
I'll not enter the pure-C vs. non-pure-C debate, but this heavily depends on a Unix-like OS and VT100-like terminal. Forget to compile it for Windows, for example.<p>Very nice project, well organized, with a terse style. Comments are missing but not necessary.
Neat, I am a fan of minimalist text editors. There is also uEmacs: <a href="https://github.com/torvalds/uemacs">https://github.com/torvalds/uemacs</a>
I’ve been wanting to make a library for Pico-like interfaces, with the commands and key combinations listed at the bottom of the screen.<p>I thought something like that must exist, but I haven’t found it yet…
