McWig (temporary name) Hi! Welcome to my text editor page. McWig is a modal, Vim-like text editor written in Go. I use it as my daily driver, btw. Note: McWig currently supports only .go files. Do not edit files that are not backed up. McWig is still in an early stage of development and may damage your files. Features LSP autocomplete, goto definition, hover info Tree-sitter support Color themes (borrowed from the Helix text editor) Lots of bugs Macro support Something like Emacs org-mode: Open test.txt , place the cursor at line 15, and press "Ctrl-C Ctrl-C" . This project was written as a "speed run" — not for speed in terms of time, but rather as an exercise to explore the text editor problem space without overthinking or planning ahead. It’s a quick and "dirty" implementation, so to speak. Running make setup-runtime make build-run Keybindings Most common Vim keybindings are implemented, providing minimal but enough (for me) support for daily source code editing. See config/config.go for all implemented keybindings. To get started: Key Description Tab Next element in popup Shift-Tab Prev element in popup Space + f Find files in Git project Space + b Buffers Space + s + s Fuzzy text search Ctrl-W + V Split window Space + ` Toggle file Space + / Search text in project Plans I plan to turn this "toy project" into a stable, fully-featured Vim-like text editor.
