An independent Rust text editor that runs in your terminal!

Last update: Jan 2, 2023

Overview

Ox editor

Ox is a code editor that runs in your terminal.

About The Project

Ox is a code editor. It was written in Rust using ANSI escape sequences. It assists developers with programming by providing several tools to speed up and make programming easier and a refreshing alternative to heavily bloated and resource hungry editors such as VS Code and JetBrains. Ox is lightweight so it can be used on older computers.

Bear in mind, this is a personal project and is nowhere near ready to replace your existing tools just yet.

It runs in the terminal and runs on platforms like Linux and macOS but doesn't work on Windows directly (it works if you use WSL) due to a lack of a good command line. There are many text editors out there and each one of them has their flaws and I hope to have a text editor that overcomes many of the burdens and issues.

Ox is not based on any other editor and has been built from the ground up without any base at all.

What features does Ox have and why should I use it?

Ox aims to be an editor that takes features from some of the most popular editors out there, gaining the best of all worlds.

Vim http://vim.org: Vim provides a plugin system for adding features to it as it is very minimal and only provides basic text editing functionality by default. It is quite extensive and has its own programming language for configuring and writing plugins for it. It has a steep learning curve due to being a “modal” text editor, having special modes for editing text. Ox is easier to use than Vim because it doesn’t have modes where the keyboard is repurposed, however it takes the idea of being a keyboard-only editor and being able to act just like an IDE after some configuration.

Nano https://www.nano-editor.org/: Nano is an editor that is very simple to grasp due to its intuitive key bindings such as Ctrl+S to save and Ctrl+? for the help menu etc. Ox took the idea for the key bindings from this editor, they are simple to remember, Ctrl+F for “Find”, Ctrl+Q for “Quit”, meaning that Ox doesn’t have as steep a learning curve.

Micro https://micro-editor.github.io/: Micro has a plugin system that is programmed with a language called Lua however I can’t seem to find any up to date plugins for it and it lacks features such as a file tree. It is micro that inspired me to add mouse functionality and other features.

Emacs https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/: Emacs is still actively used today due to its freedom to modify and change the source code. Ox took the idea for the customization and extensibility of Emacs and made a configuration system where you can change the colours and appearance of the editor.

Xi https://xi-editor.io/: Xi is also written in Rust but is purely a backend at the moment, I decided to make Ox both a frontend and a backend because Xi has many frontends, but most of them are broken and it lacks a lot of features.

Kiro https://github.com/rhysd/kiro-editor: Kiro is an amazing text editor written in Rust and adds features such as Unicode support, a nicer colour scheme and small things like resizing and it is a very inspiring editor. Ox took the ideas for the improvements from Kiro, however implemented them differently. Kiro’s source code also seems to be quite advanced in some areas, so I decided to keep Ox as simple as I could.

Built With

Ox is super minimal and aims to use as few dependencies as possible, allowing for rapid compile time and low risk of breakage.

Getting Started

You can currently only build Ox from source. While this may sound daunting to many people, it really isn't that hard and takes 1 minute worst case scenario!

Prerequisites

Because Ox is written in Rust, you must have a modern and working version of rustc and cargo.

On Arch Linux, you can run this command:

sudo pacman -S rustup
rustup toolchain install stable

If you are not using Arch, you can easily set it up on other distros by running the distro-neutral command:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
/usr/bin/rustup toolchain install stable

You must have curl installed in order to run this command.

Installation

Icons

Ox uses NerdFonts to display icons. You can install nerdfonts from https://nerdfonts.com If you use Arch Linux, you can install it by installing the package ttf-nerd-fonts-symbols-mono. There is a potential that you will need to add it to your terminal emulator.

Manual

cargo install --git https://github.com/curlpipe/ox

Arch Linux

Install ox-bin or ox-git from the Arch User Repository.

That's all there is to it!

Fedora/CentOS

Install ox from the COPR Repository:

sudo dnf copr enable atim/ox -y
sudo dnf install ox

Homebrew

Install ox from Homebrew core tap.

brew install ox

MacPorts

On macOS, you can install ox via MacPorts

sudo port selfupdate
sudo port install ox

Usage

Opening files in Ox

At the moment, you can open ox by using the command

ox

This will open up an empty document.

If you wish to open a file straight from the command line, you can run

ox /path/to/file

To open and edit a file.

You can also open a file from within Ox by using the Ctrl + O Key binding

If at any time, you wish to create a new file, you can use Ctrl + N to do so.

You can find more command line options for Ox by typing:

ox --help

Moving the cursor around

You can use the arrow keys to move the cursor around

You can also use:

PageUp - Go to the top of the document
PageDown - Go to the bottom of the document
Home - Go to the start of the current line
End - Go to the end of the current line

Editing the file

You can use the keys Backspace and Return / Enter as well as all the characters on your keyboard to edit files!

Ox is controlled via your keyboard shortcuts. Here are the default shortcuts that you can use:

Keybinding	What it does
`Ctrl + Q`	Exits the current tab or the editor if only one tab open.
`Ctrl + S`	Saves the open file to the disk.
`Alt + S`	Prompts you for a file name and saves it to disk as that file name.
`Ctrl + W`	Saves all the currently open files to the disk.
`Ctrl + N`	Creates a new tab with a blank document.
`Ctrl + O`	Prompts you for a file and opens that file in a new tab.
`Ctrl + F`	Searches the document for a search query. Allows pressing of `↑` and `←` to move the cursor to the previous occurance fof the query and `↓` and `→` to move to the next occurance of the query. Press `Return` to cancel the search at the current cursor position or `Esc` to cancel the search and return to the initial location of the cursor. Note: this allows you to use regular expressions.
`Ctrl + Z`	Undoes your last action. The changes are committed to the undo stack every time you press the space bar, create / destroy a new line and when there is no activity after a certain period of time which can be used to capture points where you pause for thought or grab a coffee etc...
`Ctrl + Y`	Redoes your last action. The changes are committed to the undo stack every time you press the space bar, create / destroy a new line and when there is no activity after a certain period of time which can be used to capture points where you pause for thought or grab a coffee etc...
`Ctrl + R`	Allows replacing of occurances in the document. Uses the same keybindings as the search feature: `↑` and `←` to move the cursor to the previous occurance fof the query and `↓` and `→` to move to the next occurance of the query. You can also press `Return`, `y` or `Space` to carry out the replace action. To exit replace mode once you're finished, you can press `Esc` to cancel and return back to your initial cursor position. Note: this allows you to use regular expressions.
`Ctrl + A`	Carries out a batch replace option. It will prompt you for a target to replace and what you want to replace it with and will then replace every occurance in the document. Note: this allows you to use regular expressions.
`Ctrl + Left`	Navigates to the previous tab.
`Ctrl + Right`	Navigates to the next tab.
`Alt + A`	Focuses the command line.

Configuring Ox

Ox features a configuration system that allows modification and personalization of the editor.

By default, Ox will look for a file here: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/ox/ox.ron or ~/.config/ox/ox.ron.

Ox's configuration language is RON.

There is a default config in the 'config' folder. You will have to either download it and place it in the default config directory or create your own using the example ones as a reference. If you don't have a config file, don't worry :), Ox will just ignore it if you don't have one.

If you wish to specify the configuration file path, you can do so using the '--config' option (or '-c' if you prefer). For Example:

ox --config /path/to/my_config.ron file_to_edit.txt

Windows OS Support

Hi,

I was really eager to try ox but wasn't able to compile it on my system. It seems to be due to its dependency towards termion, which lacks for Windows support (as stated here). You can see my error log below :

error[E0433]: failed to resolve: unresolved import --> C:\Users\cdeliquaire.cargo\registry\src\github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823\termion-1.5.5\src\lib.rs:24:9 | 24 | pub use sys::size::terminal_size; | ^^^ | | | unresolved import | help: a similar path exists: color::env::sys

Do you plan to support Windows OS someday ? If so, It seems that some people/projects successfuly switched to crossterm instead of termion to gain true multi-platform terminal support, I don't know if it supports the whole feature set ox requires, but this could be a lead.

Thanks by advance.

False claims of being "fast", terrible design unable to handle files with long lines

According to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24976905, ox can't handle a file with a 1GB long line.

Obviously when you design a new editor, handling such files is the most important thing, since it means that you have properly designed the editor's algorithms and data structures.

Clearly you failed completely at the most basic task and showed utter lack of competence in the design of algorithms and data structures.

Also, the program is falsely advertised as "fast", when instead it should be described as "unusably slow", misleading users into thinking this is well-written software.

Syntax highlighting

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Syntax highlighting for Ox.

Describe the solution you'd like Should be done by having regex in a configuration file and have Ox read those regular expressions and highlighting it with the specified colour. Should also come with languages like Rust, JavaScript, Python and Ruby and C too.

Describe alternatives you've considered ~~Being a total chad and not using any syntax highlighting~~

Accept line number and column number in file name

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Sometimes, I need to jump to a line in a source file, e.g. from backtrace listing.

Describe the solution you'd like De facto convention for the line number is FILE_NAME:LINE_NUMBER[:COLUMN_NUMBER] . For example, mceditor/mcviewer (part of Midnight Commander) can open such file and jump to the line number.

Example: main.c:5:4

Describe alternatives you've considered Open the file, then navigate to the line, e.g. by pressing Ctrl-J to jump to line/char.

Alt + arrows
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When I'm writing things, it's quicker to move cursor to use Alt + Arrows, to move word-by-word.

Describe the solution you'd like In my .zshrc I've the following bindkey :

bindkey -e bindkey '[C' forward-word bindkey '[D' backward-word

I think that nobody use this key combination to write [C or [D to file, so maybe it can be supported by default ?

Describe alternatives you've considered Be able to add kind of bindkey somewhere ?

To Tab, or not to Tab?

As someone who uses Nano, the only issue I have with is how Ox deals with tabs. Some of us are not used to reopening files to find spaces, plus it somewhat wastes time to backspacing if we need to correct our formatting.

Bump regex from 1.4.2 to 1.5.5
Bumps regex from 1.4.2 to 1.5.5.

Changelog

Sourced from regex's changelog.

1.5.5 (2022-03-08)

This releases fixes a security bug in the regex compiler. This bug permits a vector for a denial-of-service attack in cases where the regex being compiled is untrusted. There are no known problems where the regex is itself trusted, including in cases of untrusted haystacks.

SECURITY #GHSA-m5pq-gvj9-9vr8: Fixes a bug in the regex compiler where empty sub-expressions subverted the existing mitigations in place to enforce a size limit on compiled regexes. The Rust Security Response WG published an advisory about this: https://groups.google.com/g/rustlang-security-announcements/c/NcNNL1Jq7Yw

1.5.4 (2021-05-06)

This release fixes another compilation failure when building regex. This time, the fix is for when the pattern feature is enabled, which only works on nightly Rust. CI has been updated to test this case.

[BUG #772](rust-lang/regex#772): Fix build when pattern feature is enabled.

1.5.3 (2021-05-01)

This releases fixes a bug when building regex with only the unicode-perl feature. It turns out that while CI was building this configuration, it wasn't actually failing the overall build on a failed compilation.

[BUG #769](rust-lang/regex#769): Fix build in regex-syntax when only the unicode-perl feature is enabled.

1.5.2 (2021-05-01)

This release fixes a performance bug when Unicode word boundaries are used. Namely, for certain regexes on certain inputs, it's possible for the lazy DFA to stop searching (causing a fallback to a slower engine) when it doesn't actually need to.

[PR #768](rust-lang/regex#768) fixes the bug, which was originally reported in ripgrep#1860.

1.5.1 (2021-04-30)

This is a patch release that fixes a compilation error when the perf-literal feature is not enabled.

Releases(0.2.7)

0.2.7(Nov 22, 2020)
0.2.7

Comments

This is an update that focussed on very small elements of existing features to make them less annoying. Nothing new was really added, but the existing features have been greatly improved. From huge improvements in efficiency to better language highlighting and support. It took a long time but it was hopefully worth it.

Next Update

Next update will focus on adding mouse support. One of the major burdens of the editor is that it is a pain to copy and cut text from it. Also navigating files for those who aren't used to keyboard navigation is a pain. It will also add extra language support for several popular programming languages.

Changelog

Fixed serious origin deletion error

Added log file for better debugging

Properly handled panics

Optimized syntax highlighter to only re-tokenise on edit instead of every time it comes into view, greatly speeding up code navigation and writing.

Rewritten in Crossterm

Added native Windows support

Now uses signals to handle terminal resizes.

Undoing now affects the dirty file indicator if in last save state

Allowed jumping to lines via arguments e.g: ox test.txt:100 will take you to the 100th line and ox test.txt:200:39 will take you to the 39th character in line 200.

Improved language syntax highlighting.

Fixed tab and space indentation issues

Added 16 bit colour fallback

Fixed problem with resizing the welcome message

Fixed serious unicode bug

Added support for dos line endings

Allowed for customisation of the warning, error and info message colours in the command line

Fixed resize panic

Added support for a transparent editor background

Added support for line number background colours

Fixed dodgy search and replace features

Added highlighting to search and replace features

Code clean up

Added command to allow reloading of configuration file

Added delete word command

Added file overwrite prevention

Removed hardcoded key binding values

Made the goto command change the offset only if required

Added configuration option for cursor line wrapping

Improved file reading and saving errors

Added read only mode

Added ability to execute shell commands

Added macro to allow saving as root in case of permission error

Added a ton of extra key bindings including function keys and arrow keys too

Changed default configuration to use more intuitive key bindings

Comments

This is a huge update with many improvements and additions. More control over the editor as well as an entirely new scripting language have been added, allowing actions and commands that speed up editing and finally add extensibility to the editor.

Next update

Next update I'll work on refactoring to speed up Ox, because I am very aware that Ox is highly inefficient. I'll be writing a selective re-tokeniser which will only recolour lines that have been edited, over the old method of just re-tokenizing everything in view. I'll also be working to tweak certain features to improve them and bring them up to scratch with many modern text editors and work on ditching the termion library in favour of the much more active and comprehensive crossterm library. This will allow native Windows support and will allow some optimisations to be made.

Changelog

Added new simple scripting language to allow for extensibility.

Added wiki to extensively document the editor.

Fixed weird deletion behaviour at the origin of the document.

Rewrote undo and redo to feed through the same event execution as Oxa.

Added more functionality like force quit, jumping to lines.

Added support for multiple colour schemes in one config file with a command to switch between them.

Allowed for customisation of the contents of the status line and tab bar.

Added rpm package.

Added deb package.

Added to homebrew.

Updated dependencies.

0.2.2

This is a very quick follow up to 0.2.1, coming under 24 hours later with a huge bug fix that has been troubling me for a long time and I finally managed to splat it. Happy days! I also tweaked the undo / redo features slightly.

Update includes:

Fix for mangled copy / paste text and general input bug

Way more efficient input process

Tweak the undo / redo feature to not make the file dirty unless it actually changes something.

0.2.1(Sep 23, 2020)
0.2.1

As 0.2.0 was such a big update, I've decided to do smaller and more frequent updates instead and aim to release roughly every 1-2 weeks. A smaller update including some excellent features and improvements. Including:

Language specific filetype icons in the status line.

Undo and Redo feature.

Optimized regular expression use.

0.2.0(Sep 15, 2020)

0.2.0

0.2.0 is a full rewrite of the 0.1 series of this editor. It now has features that are essential to a text editor, it is now able to view long lines, Unicode works flawlessly and 0.2.0 is just cleaner underneath. It also has searching and a much more immersive command bar due to colours and styles.

It is also more fragmented up into modules, isolating problems into containers to make it easier to debug in the future.

My knowledge of Rust and it's libraries has allowed me to create a solid foundation that will make it easy to add on to in the future.

0.1.1(Aug 9, 2020)
0.1.1

This is a huge update and provides a more resilient and polished Ox, making it closer to being usable. Including:

Fewer panics.

New status line design.

Patched a serious bug with the enter key.

Better way of opening files.

Ability to create new files.

"Save as" functionality.

Unicode support.

Dirty file indicator.

More efficient rendering.

A smaller binary.

0.1.0(Aug 2, 2020)

0.1.0

The first release of the Ox text editor!

This is hopefully the start of many releases.

At the moment, Ox is buggy and has some weird quirks here and there but can function as a very very basic text editor.

I hope to iron out any issues and quirks in future releases, but for now, this is a text editor that can comfortably edit text and save it to the disk.
