AwfuLite - Ray of lite...

• It's actually my main text editor... live patching in public...

HackIT is me, also [Awaxx], DragonTalk and 752963e64. I'm not schizo :)

How to install

• depends on SDL2 library, xsel & hexdump command line tools.

git clone https://github.com/752963e64/AwfuLite
cd AwfuLite
./build.sh
./lite

How to handle the beast

• first time you'll use it.

[[ -d ~/bin ]] || mkdir ~/bin
ln -sv $PATH_TO_LITE_DIR/lite ~/bin/awfulite
export PATH=~/bin:$PATH # if it's not already assumed... check it, first...

• Go to directory you are about to work on, Now startup the beast.

lite &

• Another way is to take in consideration that you gonna seriously mess it up...

following this way, let you test your additions first.

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/752963e64/AwfuLite
[[ -d ~/bin ]] || mkdir ~/bin
cp -rf AwfuLite work_on
ln -sv ~/AwfuLite/lite ~/bin/awfulite
export PATH=~/bin:$PATH # if it's not already assumed... check it, first...

function apply_shit()
{
  [[ -x ./lite ]] && { cp -rvf $(pwd)/* ~/AwfuLite; return 0; }
}

cd work_on
awfulite &
# you keep testing additions by launching ./lite aside...
# you throw apply_shit when you feel okay with your mess...
apply_shit
# Now you should apply/commit changes to ~/AwfuLite
awfulite & # back to camp fire 
# simple...

• functions sumary from lua code.

cd Awfulite
for i in $(find . -type f -name '*.lua'); do echo "$i" && egrep -o "function .*\(.*\)" "$i"; done

• type ctrl+shift+t, Now you are on your own rdy to impress or deceive...

the console behavior is non-interactive, throw a cmd and get feedback... nah enouf? use your terminal...

• ctrl+: => open a console view...
• ctrl+shift+: => throw a command to your bash shell...

to keep track from runtime errors and information.

• ctrl+! => open up the log view

filemanager, a context menu is planned...

• ctrl+shift+t => open up a semi interactive file browser on the window's left side walking CWD...

walk through cmd by typing... it doesn't list entirely...

• ctrl+shift+p => open up internal command handler...
• escape => close the command handler if opened...
• up|down => select command into the list if opened...
• return => throw the choosen command if opened...
• tab => autocomplete commands if opened...

file related... should be common to writerz.

• ctrl+o => open up an existing file...
• ctrl+n => open up a new file...
• ctrl+s => save up the current files with modifs...
• ctrl+shift+s => save up current file to the desired filename
• ctrl+z => undo
• ctrl+shift+z => redo
• ctrl+w => to close the current file...

related to selection into a document...

• ctrl+a => select all from the current file.
• ctrl+x => cut selection
• ctrl+c => copy selection
• ctrl+l => select entire line
• ctrl+d => select word
• ctrl+v => paste selection to the current text cursor position
• ctrl+up|down => hold entire line from current text cursor position and swap to the given direction

split document workspace into multiple workspaces

see workspace screenshot for an overview...

• alt+shift+l => split to the right

• alt+shift+k => split to down

• alt+shift+j => split to left

• alt+shift+i => split to up

• alt+j => switch to left workspace

• alt+l => switch right workspace

• alt+i => switch up workspace

• alt+k => switch down workspace

syntax based binding

• ctrl+* => comment up a line using syntax's pattern.

• ctrl+q => quit the software...

Stuff DONE

- mouse feedback applies to statuview.
- linux clipboards - handled by xsel avoiding savagery over SDL2.
- added more font icons
- moved syntaxes and colors to their own dir...
- removed plugins and now loading them using a list.
- reloading modules works out of the box without overlaping...
- swapped some keybinding to more common one... (at least for me...)
- added accurate scrolling methods to every view needing a scroll method.
- added correct focus to let current doc keep focus as well.
- removed tabs to use that space for the documents which is better, to me.
- numerical file handler into statusview, mouse handling to be added still...
- add back ubuntu® fonts and struct access for futur usage...
- more fix around workspaces, can't open copy from opened files (through nodes :)) and grab focus from original instead.
- ( ctrl+a, ctrl+c, alt+shift+j, ctrl+n, ctrl+v ) is the way to open a copy from the current document...
- autoscroll (up'n down)
- mouse scroll feedback into statusview
- added show_block_rulers to docview.
- added space and tab rendering.
- improved tokenizer to catch more token
- added markers to docview. original implementation by Petri Häkkinen
- added dynamic current working directory, changeable from commands
- improved selection engine to handle multiselection modes
- ( ctrl + left mouse button => permits to place cursors anywhere you wish )
- ( shift + right mouse button => permits to select vertically up'n down right'to left )
- added correct column tracking over unicode
- fixed focus through nodes...
- git driver driven by commands/shortcuts - ./data/core/commands/git.lua
     
     # statusview scheme
     (document changes appears orange) dirty | openfiles/index | filename | line/col percent    icon | total lines | line ending | (mixed tab/space document ~= config appears orange) tabtype tabsize

Some TODO

- I WANT REDBEAN's SHELL EMBEDED =]
- keyboard navigation handling over interface
- node divider handling over some plugins (treeview)
- horizontal scroll method
- code folding
- statusview shouldn't show home path instead use a tild ~.
- add a debug mode to docview... surface usually split verticaly to print step information
- implement a timeline player.
- overlaping box which act as menu pop...
- add an acceleration method for autoscroll
- add pattern text matching methods to multi selection
- fix undo/redo with multi selection
- <s>independent documents</s> now needs to track on disk file changes?...
- user styles loads after logging...
- a markdown viewer... (needs stateful engines)
- highlight gutter instead line
- abrupt selections kills the feel someone human did it... gotta test smooth methods :Ð
- phased rendering, orchestration and composition
- windowed plugins using lite renderer
- add an internal font viewver, with this pangram "You may fuck yourself deeply, if you attempt suing me." :D
- dynamic font scaling to get rid of static storage...
- stateful engines (obj) around components (audio, network, media, data)
- binary report tools
- store session
- rounded rectangle
- more plugins
