Repo says "discontinued".

  Yes, the xi repo is discontinued. They recommend the lapce editor as the spiritual successor: https://github.com/lapce/lapce https://github.com/lapce/lapce

    I'd also recommend Helix [0] (which also uses the rope data structure [1]), that's a more widely used editor also written in Rust.

      helix is a really really good text editor / terminal IDE I'm seriously impressed by the level of quality out of the box

      This looks pretty cool - except... modes like in vi are a no-go area; has anyone tried to modify the GUI (key bindings) to make it similar to Emacs or Notepad? The extra keypress for switching between "i" (inserting text) "ESC" (moving cursor) "i"... would drive me insane (just not used to it, but used to very fast, friction-free typing/editing).

        There might be mods but it is fundamentally built around those vi like keybindings so you'll be fighting an uphill battle.

        I'm curious, how do you avoid friction between inserting text and editing? Surely moving your hand to the mouse, arrow keys, or Ctrl key for an Emacs keybinding takes longer than pressing "i"? I'll grant that Esc is further away, but it can be remapped.
        • satvikpendem 2y ago
          I rebind ESC to caps lock, works wonders as it's right on the same keyboard row as the home keys.
