Installation

• Build from source

  git clone https://github.com/appleswiggy/lekh.git
  cd lekh/
  cargo build --release
  ./target/release/lekh [FILENAME]
  

Key Features

• Syntax Highlighting
  • Lekh supports dynamic syntax highlighting where each row is aware of the context of full document. If a change happens in one row of the document, the other rows re-highlight themselves to match the context otherwise the change could potentially render the highlighting invalid.
  • Lekh automatically detects and loads the appropriate syntax for the file using its file name or by reading the first line of the file.

• Incremental Search
  • Lekh supports incremental search where the file is searched after each key press when the user is typing in their search query.
  • User can search forward or backward using the arrow keys.
