Introduction

yed is a small and simple terminal editor core that is meant to be extended through a powerful plugin architecture. The editor base is command driven, lightweight, and fast. It makes no assumptions about a user's desired editing style and leaves most functionality up to implementation and configuration plugins.

Core Editor Features

• FAST
• Dependency free
• Layered frame management
• 24-bit truecolor support
• Dynamic key bindings and key sequences
• Undo/redo
• Live find and replace
• Customization/extension via plugins

Plugins

yed plugins are shared libraries (typically written in C) that use the various facilities provided by the core editor to implement customization and add additional functionality. A plugin may:

• Add commands
• Set/unset variables
• Define key bindings
• Manipulate buffers and frames
• Define styles
• Register event handlers, allowing it to:
  • Control how text is drawn
  • Intercept keystrokes
  • Programmatically send keystrokes
  • Perform actions on save
  • More!
