# orinfar

a text editor for witches

# Building
To build this project, first install [Cargo](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/getting-started/installation.html), the Rust package manager, then clone this repo and `cargo run` in the project directory.

The editor is inspired by Vi, but has a few key differences, so you should read the [user manual](https://github.com/azaleacolburn/orinfar/tree/main/docs/MANUAL.md) before using it in a meaningful manner.

# Principles

## Minimal

- A TUI text editor
- Simple but powerful and opinionated
- Not configurable
- Similar to base Vi, but with better defaults (lsp support, etc)
- Similar in princible to [Helix](https://helix-editor.com/), but more minimal

## Reliable

- Ideally, all software should work exactly as documented and intented
    - No implementation quirks
    - No undocumented but "obvious" or "intuitive" behavior
- Not much else to say at the moment

# User Manual
Please read the [user manual](https://github.com/azaleacolburn/orinfar/tree/main/docs/MANUAL.md) before trying to edit text with Orinfar. While this text editor is mostly a subset of Vi, there are plenty of differences, both subtle and obvious.

# Implementation
Eventually I'll get around to writing developer facing documentation.

# Roadmap

I'll specify and revise this list when I get around to specific things and I have a better understanding of where I want to take this project

# Feature/Bug Requests

If I haven't implemented your favorite Vi feature, or you've found some undesirable bug or behavior, feel free to reach out to me at `azaleacolburn[AT]gmail[DOT]com`. Please do note, however, that many discrepencies between orinfar and Vi are intentional.
