Barcode

Barcode is a modal, terminal-based code editor written in Rust.

The Basics

• Modal Editing: If you've used Vim, you'll feel at home. It’s got Normal, Insert, and Command modes.
• Tree-sitter Support: Fast and accurate syntax highlighting that actually understands your code's structure.
• Split Windows: Open multiple files and tile them however you want.
• Lightweight: It starts up instantly because it doesn't have 500 MB of telemetry attached.
• Configurable: Tweak your colors, line numbers, and behavior in config.toml.

Getting Started

You'll need a working Rust toolchain. Then just:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/barcode-rs
cd barcode-rs
cargo run --release

To open specific files, just pass them as arguments:

cargo run -- src/main.rs src/lib.rs

How to use it (for now)

• i: Enter Insert mode to actually type things.
• Esc: Back to Normal mode.
• :: Enter Command mode.
  • :w: Save the current file.
  • :q: Quit the current buffer.
  • :wq: Save and quit.
  • :n: Create a new empty buffer.
  • :e <path>: Open a file.
