MIV - A text editor

A simple text editor inspired by vim. Built in Rust. Just for fun!

Installation

$ cargo build --release

Usage

$ target/release/miv

The keybindings are vi-style, with some Spacemacs inspired ones.

• h j k l to move left, down, up and right respectively.
• $ 0 beginning and end of line
• gg GG beginning and end of file
• x delete a single character
• p paste yanked content
• yy yank a line
• dd delete a line
• A I Move to the beginning/end of the line and switch to insert mode
• a i switch to Insert mode
• R switch to Replace mode
• :q quit
• :w save
• :wq save and quit
• :new make a new empty buffer
• e file.txt open the given file in a new buffer
• SPC bp SPC bn previous and next buffer

Like Vim, most commands can be repeat a number of time by prefixing them with a number. For instance, 15dd will delete 15 lines.

Caveats

• Handles only LF line ending. It will react weirdly with other types.
