Command-driven core
Every action is a registered Command — bind it to a chord or run it from the M-x command palette. Nothing is buried in a menu.
Features
Emacs-style keymap
Multi-key chord sequences like C-x C-s, with user overrides. Keyboard-first, mouse-optional.
Jump-to popups
Fuzzy pickers for recent files, file structure/symbols, open tabs, and tool windows — plus an Emacs find-file-style path finder.
Syntax highlighting
TextMate grammars (via tm4e) for 21 languages: Java, Python, Rust, Go, Kotlin, C/C++, C#, Ruby, SQL, Markdown, and more.
Markdown preview
IntelliJ-style 3-mode view (Editor / Split / Preview), rendered natively with CommonMark + GFM, live-updating and theme-matched.
Projects
VSCode single-folder workspaces: a root folder plus its own saved session (open files, layout, folds), shown as a filterable file tree.
Bookmarks
Line bookmarks with gutter markers and notes, a cross-file jump picker, and a tool window listing them across every file.
Themes & fonts
Switchable themes (Primer, Nord, Cupertino, Dracula) with matching editor color themes, and five bundled monospace fonts — no install needed.
Read-only / View mode
Toggle a buffer read-only to browse without editing; pager-style Space/Backspace paging and a Word-style View Mode banner.
Built for speed
Off-thread tokenizing, debounced highlighting, and incremental, visible-only overlays keep the UI responsive even on large files.
Download
Native installers and self-contained runnable jars for every platform are attached to each release.
macOS DMG installer (x64 / arm64)
Windows MSI installer (x64)
Linux DEB installer (x64 / arm64)
Installers are currently unsigned. On macOS, right-click the app and choose Open the first time.
