J.A.T.E.

Just Another Terminal-based Editor (JATE) is an attempt to make a fully functional bare bones text editor in C ( without any dependencies by directly manipulating terminal via V100 escape sequences )

Insipred from kilo text editor

Status : Beta Version

The editor can now :

  • View already existing file on the system.
  • Edit a text file
  • Check if the file is in modified state or not ( and warn if you try to exit a modified file without saving )
  • Save chagnes to the open file ( using Ctrl-s )
  • Quit (using Ctrl-q )

But still it can't :

  • Create a new file
  • Save a blank file ( Save-as feature )
  • support text highlithing for C/C++
⚠️ WARNING: The software is still in Beta version so if you planning to use it, I suggest making regular backups of your work in case you run into bugs in the editor.

Platform supported
