Hi! Welcome to my text editor page.
McWig is a modal, Vim-like text editor written in Go. I use it as my daily driver, btw.
Note: McWig currently supports only .go files. Do not edit files that are not backed up. McWig is still in an early stage of development and may damage your files.
- LSP autocomplete, goto definition, hover info
- Tree-sitter support
- Color themes (borrowed from the Helix text editor)
- Lots of bugs
- Macro support
- Something like Emacs org-mode: Open
test.txt, place the cursor at line 15, and press"Ctrl-C Ctrl-C".
This project was written as a “speed run” — not for speed in terms of time, but rather as an exercise to explore the text editor problem space without overthinking or planning ahead. It’s a quick and “dirty” implementation, so to speak.
make setup-runtime
make build-run
Most common Vim keybindings are implemented, providing minimal but enough (for me) support for daily source code editing. See config/config.go for all implemented keybindings.
To get started:
| Key | Description |
|---|---|
| Tab | Next element in popup |
| Shift-Tab | Prev element in popup |
| Space + f | Find files in Git project |
| Space + b | Buffers |
| Space + s + s | Fuzzy text search |
| Ctrl-W + V | Split window |
| Space + ` | Toggle file |
| Space + / | Search text in project |
I plan to turn this “toy project” into a stable, fully-featured Vim-like text editor.
