Nikki. a cozy text editor written in Rust

Nikki is a minimalistic CLI text editor. It's not meant to be used as an IDE, or to edit your /etc/fstab., but rather to, say, keep a personal diary.

Features:

  • Edit file
  • Save file (ctrl+s)
  • Quit the program (ctrl+q)
  • it has a clock (cool :) )

Heavily based off hecto (entirely), but I'll soon diverge from that.

Installation

git clone this and run

cargo install --path .

it takes less than a minute on my machine!
