      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.

      @W_0_W Рік тому +2

      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.

    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.

    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.

    • @Rhinemann
      @Rhinemann Рік тому

      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.

    • @artvandelay2731

      "Ctrl + p" was in Sublime before VSCode was launched. I don't know if it originated there.

  • @matthewstott3493
    @matthewstott3493 Рік тому +1

    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.

    • @theodorealenas3171

      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

    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

    • @CianMcsweeney

      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
