That time I made a text editor... by accident

[fast bison]

... so... uhh.. 🫠

I really don't know what to do with this In-complete prototype that was made back in 2021... but In general, here's the idea behind it:

1. Nice, Flexible text editor that was designed to be a Replacement option for Godot's Built-in text editor, (back when you couldn't run it in a Separate Window ahmm 🫠 )
2. a Fully modular design of the entire project, where you can drop the Main Scene of the text editor into another project... and it'll work just fine
   Of course, it'll have one/few interfaces to interact with it, but overall... just Drag-and-Drop to any project, and you'll have working Text Editor 👍
3. it'll have Modules inside it, that can be Completely deleted from the Project files, or just excluded in the export, and it'll work without them
   ... Sort of like Extensions in Modern text editor, like VScode for example.. but at Compile Time

• The AudioPlayer module is shown in the photo, it works by dragging & dropping one or more Audio Files that the AudioStreamPlayer can play (.wav,.ogg,.mp3 when I was building this project)

4. ... Extension Manager?... Yahh I didn't really thought I'll make it further than the Modules idea before, but it's possible
   Idea: Just like the modules in previous point, but you can add it at Runtime... pretty cool idea, but I didn't need it for my personal needs.
5. Support Multiple split windows and tabs to view/edit multiple files, without (re)loading the files each time you want to switch (Like Vim when you switch between files with a shortcut, or make it like VScode, where all the files are in tabs and can be seen at once with split windows)

... IK it was a big project to make, but I had a project that Required a nice/good text editor
And at the time, I didn't find any to do/fit my needs, So this Project was born

TL;DR
The project is somewhat abandon.. but could be Revived

It currently supports easy Highlighting edit support (edit the .json files or create for a specific language)
Saving/opening files, Go to, find and replace

looks dope! any chance that the source files can be uploaded in something like github or itch?

[fast bison]

well the source code is kind of a Mess in terms of Design Structure + no proper following of Certain pattern(s)
So I'm kind of embarrassed to share it with it's current state 😅 ( I think the source code won't be that useful to many)

But I'll work on it tomorrow and see what I can re-use 👍

at first, I just wanted to make something cool (this is why the design doc above is... weird? unique?.. may be just over the top 🫠 )
but this somewhat humble idea/design of mine is stuck in my head, And I really wanna finish it

• no worries about the source code, I'm planning to release it eventually on github

[leaden yew]

are you planning to add something like a files panel like in vscode, where you can open a folder and all files(or text files) will show up including sub folders?

[fast bison]

If I've to guess about how it'll look like... Then it'll probably look like Kate Text Editor, and functions similarly
But I'll try and keep every "Major Feature" contained as a Module
So, if you don't like this File/Folder Browser... Then you can compile it out of the project 👍

Something like this, quite simple... but it does what it suppose to do, show File(s) and Folder(s) of a specific Working Directory
