Project Description

There is this text editor vis, modal text editor based on the Plan9 structural regular expressions and se(1). However, comparing to sam(1) or acme(1) it feels mostly like advanced vi(m) not something completely new (and it is not mouse-driven).

There are some presentations about it: from FOSDEM 2018 (slides) and some random screencast.

And yes it is packaged for Factory (both stable vis package and my nightly repo).

Goal for this Hackweek

There is my plugin vis-par as a vis frontend for par(1). However, it doesn’t work well and it doesn't calculate various indentation correctly.

Resources

If you want to help with vis and you are friendly with Lua (or you want to learn), please let me know.

Looking for hackers with the skills:

vis plan9 par(1) lua

      Specifically, if anybody can fix https://todo.sr.ht/~mcepl/vis-par/2, it would be a great help!
