ad

ad (pronounced A.D.) is an attempt at combining a modal editing interface of likes of vi and kakoune with the approach to extensibility of Plan9's Acme. Inside of ad text is something you can execute as well as edit.

It is primarily intended as playground for experimenting with implementing various text editor features and currently is not at all optimised or feature complete enough for use as your main text editor.

That said, if this sounds like something you might find interesting then please to take a look and see what you think! For now there isn't a whole lot of user facing documentation so you will need to read through the source code to learn about what is and is not implemented.

ad is stable enough and feature complete enough that you can try it out and see what you think. That said, there is currently very little documentation and there are likely to be a variety of bugs and crashes in places that I've not managed to fully track down yet. If you do try it out and spot something that is broken, please raise an issue on GitHub so I can look into it.
