--== Godit - a very religious text editor ==--

I call it religious, because there is a strong faith in the "one true way" of doing things. By that I mean things like: "the tab size is always an equivalent to 8 spaces/characters" or "each line ends with '\n' symbol and someone should end this '\r\n' madness" or "text files are always utf-8 encoded". Most editors provide customizable options for these things, but godit takes a different approach in that area and has no settings at all. So, that concludes the ideology behind godit.

If you're interested in what godit feels like, it would be fair to say that it is an emacsish lightweight text editor. The godit uses many of the emacs key bindings and operates using a notion of "micromodes". It's easier to explain what a micromode is by a simple example. Let's take the keyboard macros feature from both emacs and godit. You can start recording a macro using C-x ( key combination and then when you're ready to start repeating it, you do the following: C-x e (e...). Not only C-x e ends the recording of a macro, it executes the macro once and enters a micromode, where typing e again, will repeat that action. But as soon as some other key was pressed you quit this micromode and everything is back to normal again. The idea of micromode is used in godit a lot.
