Goals - adamallaf/lime GitHub Wiki

  • 100% Open source
  • Compatible with Textmate color schemes (which is what ST is using)
  • Compatible with Textmate syntax definitions (which again is what ST is using)
  • Compatible with Textmate snippets
  • Compatible with Sublime Text’s python plugin API. I’ll probably never implement this 100%, only the api bits I need for the plugins I use.
  • Compatible with Sublime Text’s keybindings and settings (think most of it is working)
  • Compatible with Sublime Text snippets
  • Sublime Text’s Goto anything panel
  • Multiple cursors
  • Regression tests (Programming in Go makes it trivial and even fun to write them ;))
  • Support for plugging in a custom parser for more advanced syntax highlighting.
  • Clear frontend/backend separation
  • Modular design (it should be possible to compile without python support for example)
  • Terminal frontend UI (A custom termbox-go for 256 color mode used currently)
  • Qt UI (via qml)
  • Cross platform (It appears to be compiling and running on OSX and Linux last I tried, but needs further validation.)
