Minimalist text editor with vim-compatible key bindings.
- Simple and consistent terminal-based UI for distraction-free coding.
- Efficient editing with over 100 vim commands.
- Intuitive and flexible configuration, per language and project.
- Seamless integration with CLI tools (bash, tmux, git, code formatters, compilers, and anything else you use).
Aretext key bindings are compatible with vim's normal, insert, and visual modes. See Command Reference for details.
As of the 1.0 release, I've implemented every feature I wanted in a text editor! I will continue actively maintaining the project, prioritizing stability and performance improvements over new functionality.
Contributions are welcome! Please read the Contribution Guidelines to get started.
