====

slap is a Sublime-like terminal-based text editor that strives to make editing
from the terminal easier. It has:

* first-class mouse support (even over an SSH connection)
* a Sublime-like file sidebar
* double-click to select word, highlight other occurrences
configurable Sublime-like keybindings (Ctrl+S save, Ctrl+Z undo, etc.)
* copying/pasting with OS clipboard support
* infinite undo/redo
* syntax highlighting for 100+ languages
* bracket matching
* autoindentation
* heavily customizeable via plugins
* ... many other features that will make you leave nano, vim, and emacs behind

slap supports INI or JSON config files. You can put configuration wherever rc can find it.
A mostly empty configuration file with some useful comments is created in ~/.slap/config
if an existing file isn't found.

Pass configuration via command line:

$ slap --header.style.bg red file.c

Slap is fully customizeable and supports plugins written in JS. You can place
single JS files, or NodeJS packages, into ~/.slap/plugins/.

To write your own plugin, a good starting point is
slap-clipboard-plugin.
Please note that plugin packages must have "keywords": ["slap-plugin"] in
package.json.

OS support
----------

$3

iTerm2 supports the mouse and most keybindings out of the box. For optimal
Terminal.app usage, see slap-Terminal.app-profile.

$3

If you are using X.Org, ensure xclip is installed for OS clipboard support.

$3

Most terminal emulators in Windows do not support mouse events, PuTTY being a
notable exception. In Cygwin, slap crashes on startup due to
joyent/node#6459.

Issues
--------

Join us in #slap on Freenode for
troubleshooting, theme/plugin/core development, or palm strike discussion of any
nature.

NOTE: if you are using Terminal.app, see slap-Terminal.app-profile.

Unfortunately most terminal emulators do not support certain keystrokes and as
such there is no way to handle them. These include C-backspace, S-home/end,
and S-pageup/down. Most of these actions have alternate keybindings, inspired
by emacs and other editors, but if you find one that doesn't work, please
submit an issue!

$3

slap is based on Github's atom/text-buffer,
and as such should be very performant, even with very large files.

Try --editor.highlight false or adding the following to ~/.slap/config:

[editor]
highlight = false

If that doesn't improve performance, please run with --perf.profile true and
submit an issue with the newly-created v8.log file.
