It was a month ago but it is sad such an impactful person passed away. It is refreshing to see a creator who enjoyed at he did and stick to the project till the end without much drama.
i like the strong VSCode inspiration because i think VSCode is designed well. this is a great option for when you don't need all the VSCode IDE features and don't want to use an electron app. i can see myself replacing my KDE default editor "kate" with this.
I don't like that Kate is so strongly depended on KDE, but this is a good choice! 👍I'd like them to provide their releases in the appimage format so that non-KDE systems don't have to install a hundred unnecessary libs and daemons.
Cool to see you go over Lite-XL, I've been using it a while and it's great. Love how speedy and extensible it is, not to mention how helpful the community is in their discord, etc.
Love it being extreme light weight and the syntax highlighting of html with embedded css and javascript. Many editors just can't highlight multiple languages in a single file
I am a fan of textadept, which is also a gui text editor with a small footprint focusing on simplicity built in C and configured with lua, It also has a command prompt. Possibly it influenced somebody on the lite-xl team. It appeared more than ten years ago, and it's a one man project. Development has slowed. I just downloaded lite-xl, and it looks good. Love the automatic completion. Thanks for recommendation.
Yeah, Textadept is really nice! I didn't know Lite XL before but it instantly reminded me of Textadept. I'll give it a try, let's see which one I like better.
@@WildWestDesigns Yes, I've been using quills and nibs from Gillott, Hunt, and other brands from Europe, USA, Japan since the 1980s. I currently prefer Japanese nibs, and Canson illustration paper.
@@kentjensen4504 I've really just been using Speedball. I may have to try out the others. I have heard good things recently of the Japanese nibs. Been on the fence about those.
Looks real interesting. I think its greatest appeal is to users of VSCode who want something that's not slow as crap. The "ctrl+p" keybinding seems to confirm this positioning.
Lite XL looks like yet another clone of VS Code / Sublime. I don't understand why everyone is so enamored with recreating Sublime / VS Code or other IDE UX designs? I am much more interested in features that will improve my productivity and not so much in visually pleasing (at first glance) user interfaces. I don't need a minimap, filetree view, tabs, breadcrumbs, buttons / icons, etc. All of that is just taking up valuable screen real estate and serves to be a distraction. It looks great for marketing screenshots or to look cool when a clueless user looks over your shoulder. What I want is an editor that stays out of my way but offers immense super powers on demand. As I dive ever deeper into Emacs it is an absolute delight. Today, I learned about cua-selection-mode which grants me column selection and multiple cursors for free. Just turn it on and press Ctrl-Return and voila! No need to enable the full CUA mode. The Emacs native keybindings are not nearly as awful as I originally believed and although I've used Vim for decades, there are many reasons I will be sticking with Emacs.
I'm exploring this editor now. Looks nice, but still buggy in some places, and i think it should adopt one of the package managers. Looks like a new iconic text editors like Vim or Emacs.
Really liking what your showing here, but what app has the ultimate power/the best and most capable, and can handle the most programming languages. P.S. digging that mini-map
Thanks Derek. Another fantastic showcasing. I'm tempted to download it and grope around with it but I am trying to learn EMACs so I better not do it. Peace brother!
I agree, after using Emacs every editor is like "interesting, like a paint over Emacs. Let's see how you... Oh you don't." Emacs is good for health! That Ctrl Shift P thing in Emacs has an equivalent where you get the function names instead, so they stick in your mind by the time you want to automate something
Im an 'x' Atom user, Now i use the Atome clone called Pulsar. I really loved Atom, but as Microsoft bought up GitHub and ended Atom code-editor, How long will it take before Lite-XL share's the same fate as Atom ? 😢
Hope it have integrated debugger as good as vscode, I still watching between zed, lapce, codeedit, lite xl to see which one can replace vscode for my work
i always fail to understand why, with services and software like this, there are always third party plug ins. Why doesn't the core dev team understand the majorly desired features of services and bake them in naturally without needing a third party plug in? potentially untrusted / unverified / unsafe ? It might be deeper core knowledge than i am aware of but it seems like it would be a no brainer to understand an app should have a dark mode feature. For a text editor to NOT have a mini map ALREADY baked in is weird to me? It seems like these features that should be a "standard" implementation are often times, not, and then the community decides what the app should get or other companies then take that code and make a fork or a clone WITH those features in it lol? Seems backwards to me.... idk...i just needed to rant Thanks xD
There’s third party plugins because the whole concept of lite/lite-xl is to provide a super polished core that you can customize to your liking with plugins, either made by yourself or from the internet

RIP Vim's author Bram Moolenaar who passed away couple of days ago!
Wait... really? If so, dang! May he rest in peace! He definitely improved Vi a ton! What a great dev!

RIP, just found out.
I have been using lite-xl for awhile now, really like it. And the discord is very helpful.
this text editor seems like a legit competitor to vscode. great find as always DT.

Derek always delivers a perfect video picture an a perfect sound as well as a very interesting content. I wish you great success, buddy!

Hey DT, always love your content.
I am a qtcreator fan
It is just great. I can do with it, much of what lite-xl offers. It is worthy of a review and comparison.
Too much software. I’ve returned to fountain pens and high quality German notebooks, and I’m very happy.
If you just had some geese or swans running around the yard, you would be set for quills. 😀
I actually have gone back to dip pens for drawing cartoons. But I'm old enough to remember analog way of doing things.

Good for you...
its the fastest and smoothest GUI text editor ive ever used.
Definitely keeping that editor in mind. I hope a Vim plugin will be available soon!
Edit: Guess there is already a plugin yay!
can you please share some setups? because I cant find settings page on macbook
Looks good. I use Geany with the "Kugel" color scheme.
Definitely made me install it , I like the lua thingy that is nice.
Looks real interesting.

Yeah, it does appeal to me (I use JetBrains and VSCodium depending at what I need to do). The general interface look also suggests that.
"Ctrl + p" was in Sublime before VSCode was launched. I don't know if it originated there.

Good catch, looks like a neat program!

My favorite simple graphical editor is still Howl.

Helix editor is pretty great
Getting sublime text vibes with this
RIP Bram Moolenaar
Wow, that's cool
Damn, this looks great. Imma probably replace _notepadqq_ with this, much cleaner.
There is also for BSD, thanks a lot.
Good video DT

Looks very much like Visual Code Studio.
Hey DT Nalla is a front-end of apt can you use it as back-end of apt
Hope it have integrated debugger as good as vscode, I still watching between zed, lapce, codeedit, lite xl to see which one can replace vscode for my work
I would like a GUI tabbed editor like notepad++. Notepadqq is outdated and lacks basic utils like spell check.
The animation for the command window opening I'm not into.
ONE MOMENT !!!
SO I LIVD TILL TODAY BY THINKING THAT YOU ARE BALD, BUT YOU ARENT ????
Hey dt? How are you?
please make a video about the helix
Это невероятно классный редактор! Выкидываю VCS на помойку!
