Ox
Ox is an extensible code editor and integrated development environment. It functions as a terminal-integrated text editor that combines source code editing with an embedded interactive command-line shell.
The editor is distinguished by its programmable nature, utilizing a custom scripting API to integrate external functionality such as AI assistance and productivity tools. It further enables automation through an event-capture macro system for recording and playing back editing sequences.
Core capabilities include multi-cursor editing, rule-based syntax highlighting, and a hierarchical file tree for project management. The interface supports a split-pane view hierarchy for side-by-side document rendering and includes a configurable build and execution pipeline. Additional tools cover version control tracking and global search-and-replace operations.
