EdimCoder
----------------------------------

I have been using Solderpunk's VF-1 Gopher browser[1], and I really like
it. It is a REPL like experience, almost like the Ed text editor, but
with a prompt and a less complicated command system. I have seen some
people say they use and like VF-1. So, I thought that I would make a
post about a text editor I have worked on (and may consider
continuing) that is very similar to VF-1, a REPL like experience, very
similar to Ed (they're both line-editors), but also, with a prompt and
color support. It also tries to make text editing easier through
various means, like providing a prompt with information, the ability
to open multiple files, switch between them, and see which one you
are currently on, and giving context to every command that you use
by printing, at the very least, the line before the line you are
currently editing, printing, deleting, adding, etc. It also supports
an outline view of c, c++, header files, and markdown files.

Currently, the program only works 100% correctly on Windows. It does
technically work on Linux, but it's buggy. I have not tested it on
macOS.

The name EdimCoder comes from a combination of the text-editors that I
took inspiration from, ED IMproved 4CODER. Ed, coming from the Ed text
editor of course, IMproved coming from VIM, and Coder coming from
4Coder[2] (a very good and fast graphical text editor made by Allen
Webster, who is involved in the Handmade Network).
