Currently the editor will not work if it is not installed. There is also a caveat about the 'data' directory which is installed in the bin directory. This may work but does not seem ok because it is pollution a shared bin directory and the 'data' folder may not be unique to Lite. |

lite
A lightweight text editor written in Lua
- Get lite — Download for Windows and Linux
- Get plugins — Add additional functionality
- Get color themes — Add additional colors themes
Overview
lite is a lightweight text editor written mostly in Lua — it aims to provide something practical, pretty, small and fast, implemented as simply as possible; easy to modify and extend, or to use without doing either.
Customization
Additional functionality can be added through plugins which are available from the plugins repository; additional color themes can be found in the colors repository. The editor can be customized by making changes to the user module.
Building
You can build the project yourself on Linux using the provided build.sh
script. Note that the project does not need to be rebuilt if you are only making
changes to the Lua portion of the code.
Contributing
Any additional functionality that can be added through a plugin should be done so as a plugin, after which a pull request to the plugins repository can be made. In hopes of remaining lightweight, pull requests adding additional functionality to the core will likely not be merged. Bug reports and bug fixes are welcome.
