A Vim-like text editor written in Rust, currently in early prototype stage with core editing and navigation features.
Rim is an aspiring Vim-like text editor written in Rust, currently in an early prototype stage. It allows users to load, edit, and save files using Vim-inspired modal editing and key bindings, providing a familiar workflow for Vim enthusiasts in a Rust-based environment.
Developers and power users who are familiar with Vim's modal editing and seek a lightweight, Rust-based text editor with similar key bindings and navigation patterns.
Rim offers a performant and modern implementation of Vim-like editing in Rust, focusing on core features and keyboard efficiency without the complexity of a full-fledged editor, making it ideal for prototyping and minimalistic editing tasks.
Aspiring vim-like text editor
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Supports common Vim commands for insertion, deletion, and navigation, such as `i`, `dd`, and `gg`, making it comfortable for Vim users as highlighted in the README.
Includes split, close, focus, and resize windows with commands like `<C-w>v` and `<C-w>h`, providing a Vim-like workflow for terminal editing.
Built in Rust for performance and reliability, offering a fast and efficient editing experience in a terminal environment, aligning with its philosophy.
Provides essential file operations like load, edit, and save with commands `:w` and `:qa`, sufficient for basic text editing as demonstrated in the features list.
The project is in an early stage, so many Vim features are missing, and some key bindings are labeled for testing only and may not work as expected, per the README.
Missing essential editor features like syntax highlighting, auto-completion, and plugin support, which are standard in mature editors, limiting its utility for development.
The command line interface is not fully implemented; for example, only basic commands like `:w` are available, with others noted as 'for testing until a proper command line is implemented'.
