Nev is a text editor focused on keyboard usage, customizability and speed which runs in the terminal and in a GUI. It also aims to provide tools for writing code out of the box, like Git integration, syntax highlighting using Treesitter, language integration using LSP and debugging using DAP.

Nev is still relatively new, so many things are still missing or need improvement. If you want to contribute check out this.

There is a Discord server where you can ask questions as well.

• Vim motions (incomplete)
• LSP (incomplete)
• Syntax highlighting using treesitter (no support for nested languages yet)
• Basic debugging using DAP
• Fuzzy search for various things
• Sessions
• WASM plugins
• Basic git integration (list/diff/add/stage/unstage/revert changed files)
• Builtin terminal emulator support multiple shells (e.g bash, powershell, wsl)
• Flexible layout system
• And many more smaller features...

• Collaborative editing (the foundation exists already, the editor is using CRDTs based on Zeds implementation)
• Fine grained permissions for plugins
• Generic tree/table view with fuzzy searching, collapsing nodes, support for large trees. This will be used for e.g. file tree, document symbol outlines, type hierarchies, etc.
