Port TextEdit? #150

Closed 69graves closed 3 years ago

69graves commented 3 years ago

As I use my Mac more, and TextEdit, come to realize that it's a pretty powerful text editor, at least for writing, which is my field of expertise, but perhaps not for coding.

It's been a while since I've used the GNUStep version, but maybe this is something to consider?

hello @69graves, TextEdit should run on helloSystem, albeit without integration into the native helloSystem menu.

Then I will look into getting it running. I didn't see it in /usr/ports. I will continue looking and try it out.

Right, I think it is no longer in Ports/Packages but it can probably be compiled from e.g., https://github.com/ericwa/TextEdit. For helloSystem we are focusing on Qt as our native toolkit though.
