Bred is a text editor engine (think game engine, but for text editors). Use it to create your own custom text editor that meets your needs and your needs only.

There are no pre-built versions of Bred because it comes with 0 keybindings out of the box. Without the user configuration (which is compiled into the executable) it will simply crash as soon as open the program.

To get started, I recommend you read through the example config in /example/config/config.odin. It will walk you through the basics of creating a config file. You can then copy that file into a folder called /user/config or create your own file from scratch in that directory!

Once you have created a configuration file that loads a font, creates a portal, and registers some keybindings. You can run the following command to build your new editor! (If you prefer it, you can run the build with -vet and -strict-style, the engine itself is built with those two turned on, so you will not run into any issues turning them on)

odin build src -out:.build/editor.exe -collection:bred=src -collection:user=user
