A kilo editor expansion written in C

Basic functionalities of a text editor are done with the exception of copy/paste and undo

The fundamentals of this editor are derived from the kilo editor here

This is a better and more ambitious version of kilo

1. Unix System (possibly Bash on Windows too) with x86_64 Arch
2. C compiler like GCC, clang (optional: cmake)

-> Firstly, clone this repository https://github.com/nots1dd/kae

With CMake:

-> Ensure cmake is in your UNIX system and working

-> Run cmake -S . -B build/ that will build all the files as listed in CMakeLists.txt

-> Finally run cmake --build build/ to get a ./build/kae executable

-> Simply run the executable on any file!

With Makefile:

-> Run make in the current directory

-> This will compile the code and link a kae executable

-> Run that executable to enjoy KAE!

Since the current project is not an original creation, there are a LOT of plans to expand

• 1. Integrate ncurses library (for a filetree and others)

• 2. Enable copy and paste and undo

• 3. Add syntax highlighting for other languages (priority: .py, .sh, .rs, .exe, .conf, .java, .json, .ts)

• 4. Possibly integrate tmux/ncurses to create terminals within the editor (have to figure this one out)

• 5. Add a ~/.kilorc file for some user config capability

The origin of this editor is totally derived from https://github.com/snaptoken/kilo-tutorial

This project is intended to help myself understand more about text editors, along with building upon something already made.
