qudix 0.1.0

Terminal-based text editor with mouse-driven toolbar actions.

Qudix

Qudix is a mouse-aware text editor for the terminal. It combines a top toolbar with clickable buttons for cut, copy, paste, and delete with a central editing surface that supports cursor-based text selection similar to modern GUI editors.

Features

• Mouse-enabled toolbar buttons for common editing actions.
• Line and intra-line text selection using the mouse.
• Keyboard shortcuts for standard editing operations.
• Lightweight terminal UI built with prompt_toolkit.

Getting Started

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .
qudix

While the editor is running you can also pass a file path to load or save content:

qudix path/to/file.txt

Controls

• Toolbar buttons and all editing actions respond to mouse clicks.
• F5 / F6 / F7 / F8 trigger cut, copy, paste, and delete (mirroring the toolbar buttons).
• Ctrl+S saves back to the provided file path (if launched with a path).
• Ctrl+X exits the editor; Esc returns focus to the text area if another widget is focused.
• Click and drag with the mouse to select text within a line or across lines.

Development

The project follows a standard src/ layout. The main entry point lives at src/qudix/app.py.
