Let's have a thread for textadept. A free open source text editor written in C that uses Lua for scripting.

It has prebuild binaries for linux, windows and macos but can easily be built by yourself.

It supports normal hotkeys, vim style editing (if you add or use one of the existing modules) and emacs like key-chains.

Textredux is a module for Textadept that basically turns all windows into buffers that are displayed within TA, very handy and recommended.

tl;dr a free oss alternative to bloated editors

looks neat op. how easy is this to use compared to mousepad?

i only ever uses nano, mousepad, and IDLE for my scripting needs (python) because it just came with debian. now i'm slowly starting to learn C for college

Repo maintainers don't like it because it bundles like crazy.

I only use TextAdept for large xmls etc, only because Emacs is unusable for that shit. I've managed to configure basic movement/editing keybindings in TA the same as my Emacs bindings, but that's it. And while I like that the source code is very readable and most of it is written in lua, I don't know Lua. I have a job, my Emacs conf is tailored to that. The time it took for my Emacs conf to be where it is didn't happen over night, so the prospects of a lack of extensions will make a potential "switch" a regrettable decision.

One of these things is a one-man-show.
