> A toy text editor in Tcl/Tk for educational purposes.
2023-01-06 08:41:23 +00:00
ToyEd is a toy text editor made for fun and learning. It's not meant for serious use, but rather to be studied and built upon.
2024-01-23 08:09:09 +00:00
ToyEd is written in 700+ lines of Tcl/Tk (see below), but has many expected features:

As of 23 Jan 2024, the editor has seen little use. Please back up your data.

The user interface should be fairly obvious.
## System requirements
2023-10-06 11:40:23 +00:00
Running ToyEd from source requires Tcl/Tk 8.6 or newer, with Tklib. Both are available on most Linux distributions, or else from the tcl-lang.org website.

Recommended screen resolution: 800x600.
## Credits and support
ToyEd was born from the experience of developing Scrunch Edit TT, and reuses most code from it.
You can usually find me on IRC, in the #ctrl-c channel of tilde.chat, or else as @notimetoplay on the elekk.xyz Mastodon instance. Would love to hear from you.
