ptext is a small text editor built with pure C. My goal of making this was to learn more about managing tui without the need of ncurses. This is not complete by any means and needs work. Please consider staring it so i get motivation to work on it. Thank you🙏🙏. (preview at the repo!)

winter quest arch

btw idk if you noticed or not the text editor doesnt allow use of 'delete' key and other stuff

winter quest Dec 25, 2023, 3:15 AM

#

yes i did notice those

#

it is probably cuz of the reading key function

#

strangly in modern terminals they replaced DEL key with some escape seqs

#

i need to fix those

ember tiger Dec 25, 2023, 3:16 AM

#

yeah wait let me send you something that might help fix it

ember tiger Dec 25, 2023, 3:18 AM
