Dido is a specific text editor for the D language.

Status: Design failure. Multiple problems were met. Better start anew.

What's inside

• Multiple cursors editing
• dido contains a small GUI package built on top of SDL2 renderers
• portable graphics, SDL 2.x is the only dependency: https://www.libsdl.org/
• minimal DUB integration

Current limitations

• currently not configurable
• no file browser
• Multiple views not supported
• only UTF-8 files support (load and save)
• command language is very incomplete
• currently no syntax highlighting
• see Issues for more limitations

Inspiration

• dido's internals were heavily inspired by kakoune, a much more advanced and general editor. https://github.com/mawww/kakoune

• Sublime Text is an inspiration for various things like multiple cursors

• Visual Studio is an inspiration for UI

Compiling

• Build with DUB (a 2.066+ front-end is required)
• Use recent SDL 2.x binaries
