kilo-editor

What?

This is a small educational project where I implement (or try to) a basic text editor based on kilo

Why?

I thought this would be an interesting enough but just-sized project for those of you who are reading JavaScript books and learning Test Driven Development at Jest.

How to install

``bash
$ npm -g i kilo-editor
`

How to use

Basic kilo-editor command cheat sheet
kilo-editor is an easy vim-like text editor, but learning how to use it effectively can be a challenge.

Movement.

$3

Basic movement keys.
- h: left
- j:down
- k: up
- l: right

$3

Jump to the first column/first non-blank character/end of a line, like home or end. If you want to move to the other end of a row, you can move faster than you can with words.

$3

Jump directly to the end of the file

$3

Jump directly to the top of the file

Edit.

In kilo-editor, you spend most of your time in "normal" mode and only switch to "insert" mode when you need to add or change text.

$3

Enters insert mode (insert with cursor/add after cursor/); press the Esc key to exit insert mode and return to normal mode.

$3

Open a line break (below the current line/above the current line).

$3

Delete a line. You can quickly rearrange the rows by deleting them, moving them to a new location, and pasting them with a "p".

$3

Copy the line. "y" means "naughty".

$3

Paste the last deleted or copied material before or after the cursor.

$3

means undo

Search.

Press "/" to enter search mode
Go to the first word found.
You can use <- or -> to move to the next search result

command

As with the vim, use ":" to enter command mode
- :w -> save
- :q -> quit w/o save
- :wq -> quit w/ save
