xi-term

Formerly xi-tui, xi-term is a terminal frontend for xi.

It is experimental and under development, so don't expect anything magical (yet!).

Installation

The frontend assumes that you have installed the core editor and is available in your PATH. The following should suffice:

git clone https://github.com/xi-editor/xi-editor
cd xi-editor/rust
cargo install --path .

# if you want syntax highlighting, you need to install the syntect plugin:
cd syntect-plugin
make install

# You need to add ~/.cargo/bin to your PATH
# (this is where `cargo install` places binaries).
# In your .bashrc (or equivalent), add `export PATH=$PATH:~/.cargo/bin`

Then you can clone this repository and run the frontend with cargo run --release -- <your_file>. your_file can be an existing file or any dummy name.

Logging

For debugging, it can be useful to have logs. You can specify a location for log files xi-term with -l <logfile>. Two files will be written:

• <logfile>: all the xi-term logs
• <logfile>.rpc: the RPC messages exchanged between the core and the frontend

Screenshots

Shortcuts

For now, there are only two shortcuts:

• ^w saves the current view
• ^c exits

Commands

xi-term supports a vim-like command prompt for executing commands, accessed via Alt-X.

Currently supported commands:

Future commands:

Preferences

Xi-core supports several user-configurable options through a preferences.xiconfig file. The default location for this is $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xi/preferences.xiconfig, or, if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not set, it defaults to $HOME/xi/preferences.xiconfig.

Caveats

Colors

If you have the syntect plugin installed, colors will be enabled by default, with two caveats:

• you must have true colors enabled. Otherwise, some portions of text won't be displayed
• the default theme is for dark backgrounds
