mnmlwrt's Introduction

mnmlwrt - A minimal writer

Lately I discovered the joy of focussed writing using minimal interfaces and editors. Since the selection of minimal writers available on Linux didn't really satisfy me, I thought: this isn't too hard. The design guidelines are:

"minimal"
One file - so install isn't a hassle
little code
just the essentials

The 4 essentials of a text editor are: 1) creating new files, 2) editing files, 3) saving files and 4) opening files. This comes down to 4 keyboard shortcuts (you don't want to use the mouse while typing!

ctrl-n New file
ctrl-o Open file
ctrl-s Save file (or save as if no file name is given)
ctrl-q Quit

Installation

pip install git+https://github.com/mihi-tr/mnmlwrt.git

Running

simply run mnmlwrt
