@bt I've heard of #litexl in the past and all I really knew it for was "it had #Lua and it looked pretty good". It did sound pretty good except I had #Neovim at the time so it wasn't really a good offer. Now that I don't have Neovim, this seems a lot more enticing.

I'll state that I know #OpenBSD has Neovim but I just feel like it's not made for stable release systems like OpenBSD's -stable branch, which I daily drive. This issue is nowhere near as bad for me as with #Emacs but I hope this wouldn't be an issue in Lite-XL too.

Other than that, what sells Lite-XL for you other than Sublime Text? Is there anything which feels off? I wanted to ask these in case there's something which may sell me or someone else into using or not using Lite-XL.

Lite XL – Lightweight and Powerful Text-Editing – Version 2.1.8r1 for AmigaOS 4.1 Released!

Hi there,

Thanks for visiting my blog. 🙂

A new version of the lightweight and powerful text-editor Lite XL has been released for AmigaOS 4.1. This time it is version 2.1.68r1.

The port is being maintained by George Sokianos a.k.a Walkero. The program itself was created by Francesco Abbate and the Lite XL team.

George Sokianos writes as follows about the new release on his Ko-fi page:

This new version is the first one that uses SDL3, the latest version of the SDL framework that powers it. Unfortunately, with that, there comes some slowdown in the editor that is visible with an increased CPU usage and having the scrolling and animations being slower. I put great effort the past 3 weeks profiling the code and providing all the necessary information to the original Lite XL team, as well as Capehill who is responsible for the SDL3 port to AmigaOS 4, and BeWorld who does the same for MorphOS.

If you’re interested in getting the hold of the new version, it can be freely download from OS4Depot via the link below:

Thanks again for visiting my blog! See you in another post here on Old School Game Blog!

Best regards,

Puni

I've *really* fallen in love with the https://lite-xl.com/ editor
It's so god damn snappy compared to the electron-bs I was on before

I mean, sure - even kate is snappy compared to M$'s little toybox editor but LiteXL?
It's actually *snappy* - It feels like *well made software* - and that makes me extremely happy

I'd like to see more of this happen, like with Psst for Spotify etcetc....

LiteXL doesn't nuke my laptop either!!
Also, ram usage is usually less than 15 megs!

Have been #JetBrains dropped the ball this year?

I believe so. They have hard pushing for their AI thing, while ignoring the performance and features of their aging IDE frameworks and JAVA. Container support is still sketchy. Their plugin ecosystem is a mess.

There are far better alternatives, from the ubiquitous #VSCode and #VSCodium, to the performant #Zed, and some great alternatives like #Pulsar and #LiteXL.

Neues aus der Werkzeugkiste - da will jemand Visual Studio Code beerben

LiteXL (eine erweiterte, aber dennoch kompatible Fork von Lite) ist ein kleiner, schneller, freier (MIT-Lizenz) und plattformübergreifender (macOS, Windows, Linux) Texteditor, der angetreten ist Visual Studio Code das Fürchten zu lernen. Die Argumente, die das Teil dafür in die Waagschale wirft, sind schon überzeugend: https://kantel.github.io/posts/2024070701_litexl/ #LiteXL #Texteditor

So I changed the wallpaper file. It works like a fucking charm. #LiteXL never ran (or at least displayed) so smoothly on this machine before. Would recommend.

It sure can be weird to find out where a system is robust and where it's fragile.

Three weeks passed since I did a new release for the #LiteXL editor for #AmigaOS4 and #MorphOS, and I just managed to find some time to write a few words about it. Please have a look at https://ko-fi.com/post/Lite-XL-v2-1-3r1-released-some-time-ago-W7W0W6E3M and find out all the new features and bug fixes that are included

Last Friday, I restarted doing my weekly live streams on #Twitch. If you missed it, you can find it on YouTube and read my thoughts at https://ko-fi.com/post/Getting-back-to-live-streams-on-Twitch-M4M6VI9D8

While I was experimenting today with the latest release of @haiku r1beta4, which was released earlier today, I managed to port #LiteXL to it. It is still really premature but seems to work quite well.

I plan to keep on working on this and create a proper release. There is a lot I need to learn about Haiku, but I am really happy I will have my beloved editor to work with.

The best of my #LiteXL releases for #AmigaOS4 and #MorphOS happened a few minutes ago, bringing a lot of new features and fixes, making it more complete and stable than ever.
