Straight Text Editor for Console

A down to earth text-editor that is straight-forward, simple and has no obscure keybindings. Ctrl+Z to undo. Ctrl+Y to redo. Ctrl+S to save.

TODO

• Make reading files possible
• Make typing possible
• Make saving possible
• Just make it better
• Markdown Table handler

Goals

• Be aimed to be great for Markdown
• Be usable by someone who's never used it, especially if you aren't familiar with Linux
• Automatic resizing of Markdown tables (similar to the Advanced Tables Plugin for Obsidian)
• Work on both Windows and Linux without any conessions
• Avoid platform specific code unless absolutely necessary
• Work without any third-party libraries that most compilers or environments don't come with

How it works:

First the loaded file is split up based on it's lines. These lines are saved in the form of a Doubly Linked List. Each of these List Nodes contains an array containing the relevant Characters.

Whenever a line is edited, it is converted into a Double Linked List as well, to allow for easy editing of Lines.
