README.md
A read-only viewer for plain text.
Not very useful by itself, but it's a fork of lines.love that you can take in other directions, while easily sharing patches between forks.
Designed above all to be easy to modify and give you early warning if your modifications break something.
Getting started
Install LÖVE. It's just a 5MB download, open-source and extremely well-behaved.
To run from the terminal, pass this directory to LÖVE, optionally with a file path to edit.
Alternatively, turn it into a .love file you can double-click on:
$ zip -r /tmp/view.love *.lua
By default, it reads/writes the file lines.txt in
a directory relative to this app.
To open a different file, drop it on the app window.
Keyboard shortcuts
While editing text:
ctrl+fto find patterns within a filectrl+cto copy,ctrl+xto cut,ctrl+vto pastectrl+zto undo,ctrl+yto redoctrl+=to zoom in,ctrl+-to zoom out,ctrl+0to reset zoomalt+right/alt+leftto jump to the next/previous word, respectively- mouse drag or
shift+ movement to select text,ctrl+ato select all ctrl+eto modify the sources
Exclusively tested so far with a US keyboard layout. If you use a different layout, please let me know if things worked, or if you found anything amiss: http://akkartik.name/contact
Known issues
No support yet for Unicode graphemes spanning multiple codepoints.
No support yet for right-to-left languages.
Can't scroll while selecting text with mouse.
No scrollbars yet. That stuff is hard.
