# A read-only viewer for plain text.
|
|
|
|
Not very useful by itself, but it's a fork of [lines.love](http://akkartik.name/lines.html)
|
|
that you can take in other directions, while easily sharing patches between
|
|
forks.
|
|
|
|
Designed above all to be easy to modify and give you early warning if your
|
|
modifications break something.
|
|
|
|
## Getting started
|
|
|
|
Install [LÖVE](https://love2d.org). It's just a 5MB download, open-source and
|
|
extremely well-behaved. I'll assume below that you can invoke it using the
|
|
`love` command, but that might vary depending on your OS.
|
|
|
|
To run from the terminal, [pass this directory to LÖVE](https://love2d.org/wiki/Getting_Started#Running_Games),
|
|
optionally with a file path to edit.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, turn it into a .love file you can double-click on:
|
|
```
|
|
$ zip -r /tmp/view.love *.lua
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
By default, it reads/writes the file `lines.txt` in
|
|
[a directory relative to this app](https://love2d.org/wiki/love.filesystem.getSourceBaseDirectory).
|
|
|
|
To open a different file, drop it on the app window.
|
|
|
|
## Keyboard shortcuts
|
|
|
|
While editing text:
|
|
* `ctrl+f` to find patterns within a file
|
|
* `ctrl+c` to copy, `ctrl+x` to cut, `ctrl+v` to paste
|
|
* `ctrl+z` to undo, `ctrl+y` to redo
|
|
* `ctrl+=` to zoom in, `ctrl+-` to zoom out, `ctrl+0` to reset zoom
|
|
* `alt+right`/`alt+left` to jump to the next/previous word, respectively
|
|
* mouse drag or `shift` + movement to select text, `ctrl+a` to select all
|
|
* `ctrl+e` to modify the sources
|
|
|
|
Exclusively tested so far with a US keyboard layout. If
|
|
you use a different layout, please let me know if things worked, or if you
|
|
found anything amiss: http://akkartik.name/contact
|
|
|
|
## Known issues
|
|
|
|
* No support yet for Unicode graphemes spanning multiple codepoints.
|
|
|
|
* No support yet for right-to-left languages.
|
|
|
|
* Can't scroll while selecting text with mouse.
|
|
|
|
* No scrollbars yet. That stuff is hard.

## Mirrors and Forks
|
|
|
|
This repo is a fork of [lines.love](http://akkartik.name/lines.html), an
|
|
editor for plain text where you can also seamlessly insert line drawings.
|
|
Its immediate upstream is [text.love](https://git.sr.ht/~akkartik/text.love),
|
|
a version without support for line drawings. Updates to it can be downloaded
|
|
from the following mirrors:
