QEmacs (for Quick Emacs) is a very small but powerful editor. It has features that even big editors lack:

• Full screen editor with an Emacs look and feel with all Emacs common features: multi-buffer, multi-window, command mode, universal argument, keyboard macros, config file with C-like syntax, minibuffer with completion and history.

• Can edit files of hundreds of Megabytes without being slow by using a highly optimized internal representation and by mmaping the file.

• Full Unicode support, including multi charset handling (8859-x, UTF8, SJIS, EUC-JP, ...) and bidirectional editing respecting the Unicode bidi algorithm. Arabic and Indic scripts handling (in progress).

• WYSIWYG HTML/XML/CSS2 mode graphical editing. Also supports Lynx like rendering on VT100 terminals.

• WYSIWYG DocBook mode based on XML/CSS2 renderer.

• C mode: coloring with immediate update. Emacs like auto-indent.

• Shell mode: colorized VT100 emulation so that your shell work exactly as you expect. Compile mode with next/prev error.

• Input methods for most languages, including Chinese (input methods come from the Yudit editor).

• Hexadecimal editing mode with insertion and block commands. Unicode hexa editing is also supported.

• Works on any VT100 terminals without termcap. UTF8 VT100 support included with double width glyphs.

• X11 support. Support multiple proportional fonts at the same time (as XEmacs). X Input methods supported. Xft extension supported for anti aliased font display.

• Small! Full version (including HTML/XML/CSS2/DocBook rendering and all charsets): 200KB big. Basic version (without bidir/unicode scripts/input/X11/C/Shell/HTML/Dired): 49KB.

Scintilla is a source code editing component for GTK+. It has the usual features found in text editing components, as well as some that are especially useful for editing and debugging source code; these include support for syntax styling, error indicators, code completion and call tips. Styling choices are more open than with many editors: Scintilla lets you use proportional fonts, bold and italics, multiple foreground and background colours, and multiple fonts.

editorconfig-checker is a lint tool to verify that a project matches the specifications in {.editorconfig

Lite XL is derived from lite. It is a lightweight text editor written mostly in Lua. It aims to provide something practical, pretty, small and fast easy to modify and extend, or to use without doing either.

The aim of Lite XL compared to lite is to be more user-friendly, improve the quality of font rendering, and reduce CPU usage.

Parinfer is a plugin for Kakoune, Vim, Neovim and Emacs that infers parentheses and indentation. This library can be called from other editors that can load dynamic libraries.

Kak-tree-sitter provides a server between Kakoune and Tree-sitter. It provides semantic syntax highlighting and selections in the Kakoune text editor.

Vis aims to be a modern, legacy free, simple yet efficient vim-like text editor. It extends vim's modal editing with built-in support for multiple cursors/selections and combines it with sam's structural regular expression based command language.

Rassumfrassum is a LSP/JSONRPC multiplexer that allows one LSP client (Emacs' eglot, Neovim, etc.) to connect to multiple language servers seamlessly.

This package provides a modeless text editor with menu bar. It supports syntax highlighting, regular expressions, configurable menus, keybindings, autocomplete and unlimited undo. It can pipe a marked block of text through any command line filter. It can also open very large binary files. It was originally developed on the Amiga 3000T.

XNEdit is a fast and classic X11 text editor, based on NEdit, with full unicode support and antialiased text rendering.

A soft fork of Helix which introduces keybindings and other features to make it more comfortable for Vim users. Changes include:

• Vim keybindings

• Adjusted behaviours and defaults for Visual line mode

• Basic Vim modeline support

• Support for colored/rainbow indentation guides

• Minimalistic window separator

Moreover, evil-helix introduces the editor.evil option, which is true by default. It can be set to false to completely deactivate evil-helix behavior without having to use a different build.

The edlin program is a small line editor, written for FreeDOS as a functional clone of the old MS-DOS program edlin.

parinfer-rust-emacs is an Emacs-centric fork of parinfer-rust, itself an implementation of Shaun Lebron’s Parinfer. This builds a shared library intended to be loaded by the emacs-parinfer-rust-mode Emacs plugin, though a standalone binary is built also.

Ed is a line-oriented text editor: rather than offering an overview of a document, ed performs editing one line at a time. It can be executed both interactively and via shell scripts. Its method of command input allows complex tasks to be performed in an automated way. GNU ed offers several extensions over the standard utility.

GNU TeXmacs is a text editing platform which is specialized for scientists. It is ideal for editing structured documents with different types of content. It has robust support for mathematical formulas and plots. It can also act as an interface to external mathematical programs such as R and Octave. TeXmacs is completely extensible via Guile.
