Native windows text editor in C# with multi language and LSP support.

Important

Work in Progress

Getting Started

dotnet restore
dotnet build axiom.sln

Requires .NET 8 SDK (Windows Desktop Runtime).

Run the Application:

dotnet run --project Axiom/Axiom.csproj

Build Release version:

dotnet build -c Release

The executable will be located inside Axiom\bin\Release\net8.0-windows\.

Publish Standalone Executable (create a self-contained Windows executable):

dotnet publish -c Release -r win-x64 --self-contained true

The executable will be located inside Axiom\bin\Release\net8.0-windows\win-x64\publish\.
This produces a runnable .exe without requiring .NET installation.

Notes

1. This is a Windows-only application due to WPF.
2. Make sure you are using the .NET SDK, not only the runtime.

Configuration

1. The configuration file is located at %APPDATA%\Axiom\settings.toml.
2. To change the editor theme:
   1. Copy the themes directory from Resources\Themes\.
   2. Paste it into %APPDATA%\Themes\.
