rust-editor

WIP

An implementation of text editor with Rust/WebAssembly.

This is a hobby project just for my study, but I'm trying to make it as much as practical.

This editor is roughly based on kilo, but has some improvements.

• Support ASCII/UTF-8 encoded texts
• Support Undo/Redo
• Run on terminal in UNIX, and on browser with WebAssembly

Demo

https://inokawa.github.io/rust-editor/

Start

CLI

git clone git@github.com:inokawa/rust-editor.git
cd rust-editor
cargo run "path/to/file.txt"

Shortcuts	Action
Ctrl+Z	Undo
Ctrl+Y	Redo
Ctrl+F	Search
Ctrl+S	Save
Ctrl+Q	Quit

Web

git clone git@github.com:inokawa/rust-editor.git
cd rust-editor/web
npm install
npm start

Shortcuts are the same as CLI (Cmd also works instead of Ctrl on macOS, except Cmd+Q).

• Open: drop a file onto the page
• Save: downloads the file
• Quit: stops the editor, reload the page to restart
