Overview

Go port of Rob Pike's Acme editor. Derived from ProjectSerenity but now increasingly divergent. ProjectSerenity was itself a transliteration of the original Acme and libframe C code from plan9port

Named edwood in celebration of the formative influence of Ed Wood on Plan9 and the truth of ed-iting.

Note that Edwood (as with Acme) requires some infrastructure from plan9port: in particular devdraw and the p9p font server. So to actually use this, you'll want to install plan9port first.

Project Status

Edwood has reached the useful milestone (v0.1) and should serve as drop-in replacement for Plan9 Port Acme. (But probably with different bugs.) Please file issues if Acme client apps don't work with Acme or if your favourite Acme feature doesn't work.

Roadmap

• More idiomatic Go and tests.
• Internal API modernization.
• Revised text handling data structures.
• More configurability: styles, keyboard shortcuts, autocomplete.
• See the issues list for the details.
