Framework for flexible and powerful curses-based applications

PunkEditor

Framework for flexible and powerful curses-based applications.

Installation

For command line version only: pipx install punkeditor

To use the code library: pip3 install punkeditor (or add to your requirements.txt etc).

Use

We only have a prototype at the moment. It's a variation on the curses TextBox class. If you seek word wrapping, or even character mapping, or copy/paste, or basically anything, look elsewhere.

The command is:

punke

Optionally, provide --width and --height options for an edit box smaller than the full terminal window.

The editor will open with an empty buffer. Try keys:

Key	Action
<arrows>	move
ctrl-a	left end of line
ctrl-e	right end of line
ctrl-d	delete character
ctrl-k	delete remainder of line
<backspace>	backspace

Hit Tab to quit. The command will dump the contents of the buffer to the output after quitting.

We're still missing the concept of a newline character. The editor ignores the Return key, and only inserts a space between output
