Vis
Jul 20, 2023
Vi-like editor based on Plan 9’s structural regular expressions
Vis aims to be a modern, legacy-free, simple yet efficient editor, combining the strengths of both vim and sam.
It extends vi’s modal editing with built-in support for multiple cursors/selections and combines it with sam’s structural regular expression based command language.
Efficient syntax highlighting is provided using Parsing Expression Grammars, which can be conveniently expressed using Lua in the form of LPeg.
The editor core is written in a reasonable amount of clean, modern and legacy-free C code, enabling it to run in resource-constrained environments. There is also a Lua API for in-process extensions.
Vis strives to be simple and focuses on its core task efficient text management. Clipboard and digraph handling as well as a fuzzy file open dialog are all provided by independent utilities.
