Lite XL

Discord Badge Image

screenshot-dark

A lightweight text editor written in Lua, adapted from lite.

  • Get Lite XL — Download for Windows, Linux and Mac OS (notarized app).
  • Get plugins — Add additional functionality, adapted for Lite XL.
  • Get color themes — Add additional colors themes.

Please refer to our website for the user and developer documentation, including build instructions.

Lite XL has support for high DPI display on Windows and Linux and, since 1.16.7 release, it supports retina displays on macOS.

Please note that Lite XL is compatible with lite for most plugins and all color themes. We provide a separate lite-plugins repository for Lite XL, because in some cases some adaptations may be needed to make them work better with Lite XL. The repository with modified plugins is https://github.com/franko/lite-plugins.

The changes and differences between Lite XL and rxi/lite are listed in the changelog.

Overview

Lite XL is derived from lite. It is a lightweight text editor written mostly in Lua — it aims to provide something practical, pretty, small and fast easy to modify and extend, or to use without doing either.

The aim of Lite XL compared to lite is to be more user friendly, improve the quality of font rendering, and reduce CPU usage.

Customization

Additional functionality can be added through plugins which are available in the plugins repository or in the Lite XL plugins repository.

Additional color themes can be found in the colors repository. These color themes are bundled with all releases of Lite XL by default.

Contributing

Any additional functionality that can be added through a plugin should be done as a plugin, after which a pull request to the plugins repository can be made.

If the plugin uses any Lite XL-specific functionality, please open a pull request to the Lite XL plugins repository.

Pull requests to improve or modify the editor itself are welcome.
