Slap
Slap is a terminal-based text editor designed to mimic the user experience and interface of a graphical code editor within a command-line environment. It functions as both a text editor and a text-user interface file manager, providing a navigable sidebar for organizing and switching between files and directories.
The editor is built for extensibility through a plugin system that allows the loading of external scripts and packages to add new features and core functionality. Users can customize the editor workflow by remapping keyboard shortcuts, adjusting performance parameters, and modifying the appearance of the interface, including colors and text styles.
Core capabilities include terminal-based text editing with syntax highlighting, mouse interaction support for selection and navigation, and integration with the operating system clipboard. The system also maintains a linear history stack for undo and redo operations and supports file manipulation on remote servers via SSH.
