I worked on this project because I wanted to learn C and do a fun project.
This editor is written and tested to be run only on linux. you may try to run it on other OSes but it's not guaranteed to work on other OSes
This project is based on this booklet: Build Your Own Text Editor.
The booklet is written by Snaptoken.
Compiled binaries aren't provided so if you want to run this on your machine you will have to compile it yourself.
- C compiler. (e.g. GCC, Clang)
- (Optional) git.
git clone https://github.com/SEG-V/ctxt
cd ctxt
make build
./ctxt
The configuration file config.ini should be loacted at $HOME/.config/ctxt/
