Shim - A vim inspired text editor

This is my attempt at making a text editor. The project started off as a from scratch implementation in Python and has now morphed into a weird mix of Scala (In the form of Scala.js) + Python. I might consider moving the backend from Python to Scala at some point... But there's 120938102 other things I'd like to try first.

Implemented so far:

• An algorithmically appalling rendition of control-p
• Super simplistic file browser that resembles a bad nerd-tree
• Writing to disk / quitting
• Multiple file windows
• A Scala.js based frontend (I don't really fancy Javascript)

In the pipeline:

• Ctag support
• A proper testing suite
• Config files

Shim is still very much a work in progress.

Here's what I have so far:

To run:

Add the following to your .bashrc/.zshrc/etc

export SHIM_HOME=$PATH_TO_SHIM_ROOT_FOLDER

Install node-webkit see shim.py for to see how it's being used.

Add shim.py to your path and you should be good to go.
