eKilo is a lightweight terminal text editor based on the original kilo editor with enhanced functions. Its peculiarity is that it can run on any hardware, maintaining a high-performance and useful style. It installs in a minute, if you want to take a look I would be happy, having found a utility myself. Any advice is highly appreciated.
- Syntax highlighting: C/C++, Python, Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, C#, PHP, Ruby, Swift, SQL, Rust, Dart, Shell, HTML, React, Vue.js, Angular & Svelte.
- Improved terminal resizing
- Clean screen exit
- Autocompletion
- Improved key combinations
- No external dependencies
