This is still very early in development and very experimental. Use at your own risk!
Nev is a text editor focused on keyboard usage, customizability and speed which runs in the terminal and in a GUI. It also aims to provide tools for writing code out of the box, like Git integration, syntax highlighting using Treesitter, language integration using LSP and debugging using DAP.
I'm also experimenting with a programming languange system where instead of writing the source code as plain text,
the abstract syntac tree (AST) is edited directly (or rather through projections, which are still trees).
This feature is not included in release builds, and has to enabled by compiling with -D:enableAst=true (note that it doesn't compile with the latest version, I will continue work on this at a later stage, for now the focus is on making this a good text editor for "normal" programming languages).
- Vim motions (incomplete)
- LSP (incomplete)
- Syntax highlighting using treesitter (no support for nested languages yet)
- Basic debugging using DAP
- Fuzzy search for various things
- Sessions
- WASM plugins
- Basic git integration (list/diff/add/stage/unstage/revert changed files)
- And many more smaller features...
- Collaborative editing (the foundation is exists already, the editor is using CRDTs based on Zeds implementation, but actually connecting to other people is still missing)
- Create custom UI in plugins
- Fine grained permissions for plugins
- Builtin terminal
- Generic tree/table view with fuzzy searching, collapsing nodes, support for large trees. This will be used for e.g. file tree, document symbol outlines, type hierarchies, etc.
- Helix motions
Download latest release or build from source
- Currently only UTF-8 encoded files are supported
- Carriage return (
0xD) will be removed when loading, and not added back when saving. - Language servers and debug adapters have to installed manually at the moment, treesitter parsers require emscripten
- Read the docs
Debugging support (breakpoints aren't rendered correctly in the gif because of recording with asciinema and they use unicode symbols, see screenshot above)
