Features

• Write and backspace text,
• navigate using mouse, arrows, page-up and page-down,
• select text using keyboard and mouse,
• cut, copy, paste and delete selection,
• load (ctrl-o), save (ctrl-s) and save-as (ctrl-shift-s) using GTK dialogs,
• F1 to line-wrap

You must specify a path to the xi-core executable (build by cargo inside the rust subdirectory of xi-editor). Works with the xi-editor commit 2e88632, but the HEAD is a good bet.

Dependencies

On Linux you might need to install the package xmu first.

sudo apt-get install libxmu-dev libxi-dev

Example usage

xicore=../xi-editor/rust/target/debug/xi-core cargo run README.md
