I've been looking into other text editors now that #litexl has been showing me it's jank, and bug, probably because of it's plugin system of overriding system functions. No good mid-range extensible like lite xl. Now, I'm not that good but I have been wondering how hard would it be to implement something like a mini #emacs in lite xl that handles some of the co-janky plugins, since emacs does buffer stuff and lite does overriding stuff, they will cancel each other out? I have heard lisp was easy

LiteXL Tip: Macros can control the whole interface, including the multi-file search results. So if you need to apply complex changes to multiple files, you can record a macro that returns to the search results tab after it's done.

@bt I've heard of #litexl in the past and all I really knew it for was "it had #Lua and it looked pretty good". It did sound pretty good except I had #Neovim at the time so it wasn't really a good offer. Now that I don't have Neovim, this seems a lot more enticing.

I'll state that I know #OpenBSD has Neovim but I just feel like it's not made for stable release systems like OpenBSD's -stable branch, which I daily drive. This issue is nowhere near as bad for me as with #Emacs but I hope this wouldn't be an issue in Lite-XL too.

Other than that, what sells Lite-XL for you other than Sublime Text? Is there anything which feels off? I wanted to ask these in case there's something which may sell me or someone else into using or not using Lite-XL.

I don't regularly use Lite XL, but I really like how it uses SDL for it's graphical layout and its use of Lua as both development and plugin language.

So a really good option to know about, but I end up using neovim for most of my editing tasks.

Lite XL – Lightweight and Powerful Text-Editing – Version 2.1.8r1 for AmigaOS 4.1 Released!

Hi there,

Thanks for visiting my blog. 🙂

A new version of the lightweight and powerful text-editor Lite XL has been released for AmigaOS 4.1. This time it is version 2.1.68r1.

The port is being maintained by George Sokianos a.k.a Walkero. The program itself was created by Francesco Abbate and the Lite XL team.

George Sokianos writes as follows about the new release on his Ko-fi page:

This new version is the first one that uses SDL3, the latest version of the SDL framework that powers it. Unfortunately, with that, there comes some slowdown in the editor that is visible with an increased CPU usage and having the scrolling and animations being slower. I put great effort the past 3 weeks profiling the code and providing all the necessary information to the original Lite XL team, as well as Capehill who is responsible for the SDL3 port to AmigaOS 4, and BeWorld who does the same for MorphOS.

If you’re interested in getting the hold of the new version, it can be freely download from OS4Depot via the link below:

Thanks again for visiting my blog! See you in another post here on Old School Game Blog!

Best regards,

Puni
