# ted
A text editor.
**ted is still very new, and there are almost certainly bugs. There are also definitely important features missing. I don't recommend using this as your main text editor yet.**
<img src="ted.png">
To install `ted` on Linux, you will need:
- A C compiler
- SDL2
- The GL development libraries
These can be installed on Ubuntu/Debian with:
```
sudo apt install gcc libsdl2-dev libgl-dev
```
Then run
```
wget https://ftp.pcre.org/pub/pcre/pcre2-10.36.zip
sudo make install -j4
```
There is no nice way of installing on Windows yet.
## Why?
There are a lot of text editors out there. ted doesn't do anything new.
But in the modern world of text editors running browsers internally, it can be nice to have
a simple editor that starts up practically instantaneously, and performs well on reasonably-sized files.
## Supported features (more coming soon)
- Multiple tabs, each with a different file
- Auto-indent
- Customization of (pretty much) all colours and keyboard commands.
- Syntax highlighting for C, C++, Rust, and Python.
- Find and replace (with regular expressions!)
## Building from source
On Linux, run `make`.
On Windows, you will need the SDL2 VC development libraries: https://www.libsdl.org/download-2.0.php
Copy SDL2-2.x.y into the ted directory, and rename it to SDL2. Also copy SDL2\lib\x64\SDL2.dll
to the ted directory.
You will also need PCRE2. Download it here: https://ftp.pcre.org/pub/pcre/pcre2-10.36.zip,
unzip it, and put pcre2-10.36 in the same folder as ted.
Then run `make.bat`.
