Everybody writes a screen editor. It's easy to do and makes them feel important. Tell them to work on something useful.

Tell them to work on something useful.

... Nah.

ked

A text editor, for fun and knowledge.

Based on the excellent Build Your Own Text Editor series. Most of the current code is a direct port of this tutorial.

TODOs

A whimsical list of improvements I'd like to implement-

• Line numbers
• Mouse events
  • Simple cursor movement
  • Drag to highlight
• Cursor position history (this)
• Undo and redo
• Cut, copy, and paste
• Represent modifications using a Piece Table data structure
• Word wrapping (Rust's std::fmt should make this easy)
