babi

a text editor, eventually...

why is it called babi?

I usually use the text editor nano, frequently I typo this. on a qwerty keyboard, when the right hand is shifted left by one, nano becomes babi.

quitting babi

currently you can quit babi by using ^X (or ^C which triggers a backtrace).

demos

not much works yet, here's a few things

color test (babi --color-test)

this is just to demo color support, this test mode will probably be deleted eventually. it uses a little trick to invert foreground and background to get all of the color combinations. there's one additional color not in this grid which is the "inverted default"

file view

this opens the file but doesn't yet display it. movement is currently enabled through the arrow keys and some key combinations are detected. unknown keys are displayed as errors in the status bar
