mehditor 0.2.0

A text editor for twentieth century computing.

Modern but simple text editor

Mehditor is a modern but simple text editor. I made it because I needed a quick editor (like Pico or Nano) on servers, but wanted a more modern and friendly interface. Meditor is written in Python and uses the excellent Textual for its user interface. I wrote it in a weekend.

Features

• Put that VGA graphics card to use with astonishing color (light and dark modes!)
• Mouse support
• Modern-ish user interface with command palette and menus
• Undo/redo support (now updated with Textual's new undo/redo)
• Sensible keyboard shortcuts that work well over ssh, tmux, etc
• Syntax highlighting for Python, SQL, and more
• Easy installation via pip -- no root needed

Drawbacks (what's missing)

• Made in a weekend, probably not ideal for heavy lifting
• Fairly minimal without features like multiple files or support for a lot of languages
• Written in Python, so probably not the most lightweight choice

Installation

pip install -U mehditor

Usage
