Hi there :)

Is this a production ready replacement for Emacs - or even meant to be one?

What does "clone" refer to?

Thanks

Hi,

tfel-editor is a project meant to create a text editor that leverages the abilities of the Qt library which is strongly inspired by Emacs. That is how "clone" ought to be interpreted, though this might have been misleading, so I changed the project description.

Regarding your other questions.

I use it on a daily basis, though far from being production ready.

The main idea was to create a text editor for the various projects that I have created: mfront (https://github.com/thelfer/tfel), mtest (https://github.com/thelfer/tfel), tplot (https://github.com/thelfer/tfel-plot), licos (developed for internal use by the French Atomic and Alternative Energies Commission).

Aside from those major modes, the Cast3M(http://www-cast3m.cea.fr/) C++, mardown and LaTeX modes are quite usable. The other modes are "experimental".

You may also find a more complete description of the project goals here: https://thelfer.github.io/tfel-editor/faq.html

Regards,

oh, I found the former name "qemacs" much more telling ^^

thanks a lot

I also found it much more explicit, but It seeams that it was already used. See https://github.com/thelfer/tfel-editor/issues/3. Best,

I hope you find some middle ground. A Screenshot might help

thelfer commented 5 years ago

There are some screenshots available on the website :) See https://thelfer.github.io/tfel-editor/ In particular: https://thelfer.github.io/tfel-editor/mfront-major-mode.html More seriously, tfel-editor works but it lacks proper documentation and without this advertising is pretty much useless.
