lime

Welcome to the meta project for Lime.

For the backend, please see limetext/lime-backend.

There are also three frontends currently in development: limetext/lime-qml, limetext/lime-termbox, and limetext/lime-html.

Status

The frontends are not ready to replace your favourite editor, but the backend isn't too far away.

If you want to help us build Lime, great! We'd love your help. See here for how you could be most useful.

This project is not yet ready for daily use, and we currently lack the resources to support users. If you need help building, running, or otherwise using Lime, try the wiki or your favorite search engine. If you still need help, consider opening an issue in limetext/support. Issues opened in this project that don't relate to bugs or improvements will be closed.

Your help is needed to move the project forward! Claim an issue and submit a pull request!

What is Lime?

I love the Sublime Text editor. I have created several plugins to make it even better. One thing that scares me though is that it is not open sourced and the pace of nightly releases have recently been anything but nightly, even now that version 3 is out in Beta.

There was a period of about 6 months after the Sublime Text 2 "stable" version was released where pretty much nothing at all was communicated to the users about what to expect in the future, nor was there much support offered in the forums. People including myself were wondering if the product was dead and I personally wondered what would happen to all the bugs, crashes and annoyances that still existed in ST2. This lack of communication is a dealbreaker to me and I decided that I will not spend any more money on that product because of it.

As none of the other text editors I've tried come close to the love I had for Sublime Text, I decided I had to create my own.

Why API compatibility?

Sublime Text has a good plugin architecture and a large collection of existing plugins created for it. We want users to be able to take advantage of these extensions without requiring developers to support multiple APIs.

Lime 是什么?Lime 是一个开源项目,目标是做成与 Sublime Text 编辑器 API 兼容的替代品,这样现有的 Sublime Text 插件无需作者维护多套 API 版本,就能直接复用。
这是完整的编辑器,还是几个独立的部分?它是一个元项目,把各个真正的组成部分整合在一起:核心编辑后端位于 limetext/lime-backend,另外还有三个独立的前端项目(QML 图形界面、终端界面和 HTML 前端),各自处于不同的开发阶段。
我要怎么让它运行起来?目前没有打包好的安装程序,需要自己按照项目 wiki 中的 Building 页面说明进行编译,把后端与其中一个前端一起构建。
它是用什么构建的?后端使用 Go 编写,项目的语言标签也体现了这一点;README 中没有提到其他运行时依赖。
这个项目现在能替代我日常使用的编辑器吗?不能。README 明确说明,前端还不足以替代你喜欢的编辑器,整个项目也尚未达到日常使用的程度,而且用于支持用户的资源有限。
这个项目目前究竟适合哪些人?主要适合愿意参与开发的贡献者,而不是寻找稳定编辑器的普通用户,因为项目明确希望大家帮忙处理问题反馈和拉取请求。
作者为什么要自己做 Lime,而不直接用 Sublime Text?作者很喜欢 Sublime Text,但对它闭源、沟通和漏洞修复一拖就是几个月感到失望,于是决定做一个开源的替代品。
我现有的 Sublime Text 插件能在 Lime 里用吗?这正是明确的目标:Lime 力求与 Sublime Text 实现完整的 API 兼容,让插件作者不必为另一款编辑器维护单独的版本。
Lime 有哪些可用的前端?目前有三个在开发中:基于 Qt/QML 的图形界面(lime-qml)、终端界面(lime-termbox),以及基于 HTML 的前端(lime-html)。
