Take a look at QScintilla #199

Closed JakobDev closed 8 months ago

I noticed that you included Lua scripting together with a little self coded code editor in Cubiomes Viewer. however, there is a existing Editor Widget for Qt called QScintilla. It has many featured build-in and is available under GPL 3. You may want to use it over your current implementation. The source code can be found here.

I don't really want to add external dependencies to the project. I could embed the code, like the Lua sources, but QScintilla is very large in comparison. I originally intended to just open a system editor with openUrl(), which is now replaced with a button that opens the lua directory. The little embedded editor is really there just for convenience.

Are there any specific built-in features you are missing?

I'm not really missing feature. I just know QScintilla and thought, it was better to tell you, so you don't have to spend time to reinvent the wheel.
