Progress, new release coming hopefully this month...

After fighting with a flu, having no time to work on the editor, etc.pp... i finally have now:

  • Scrolling left/right
  • Documentation made with LaTeX
  • a Makefile instead of a shell script to comple the editor

The Makefile compiles the editor with the curses/ncurses library.
(Which should be okay for 99% of all users.)

If you must work on a machine without curses library, you can use my curses replacement, pipcurses, by changing 4 lines in the Makefile.
But the default is to compile it on a machine with installed curses/ncurses library, so just type make.

Future plans:

Work on the commands of the editor, block commands like cc, rr, dd, .a, .b and such and like x, nx and such.

Two more macros, cs (Copy to Scratch file) and cb (Copy Block).

cs copies a given amount of lines, marked with .a and .b into a scratch file (stored in the /tmp folder).
Then quit the editor, edit another file and copy the content of the scratch file into the other file after a line marked with .a.

cb (Copy Block), mark a block of text with the cursor, upper corner first, then lower corner too.
Then copy the whole block at another position in the current file my marking the upper corner with the cursor.
(Which might be a little bit difficult, but i want to implement that.)
