Project: C-Edit for Linux - Text editor in terminal with basic text UI. No ncurses.

C-EDIT is a text file editor for linux terminals that mimics the classic MS-DOS EDIT coded in C.
(in progress, it is not 100% functional yet)
Source code: GitHub - velorek1/C-edit

I tried not to use the ncurses library to learn as much as possible. To have more control over how you display data in the terminal, it implements a double screen memory buffer. This way, I can go back to previous screens to show windows, top-down menus, etc - a rudimentary user interface for terminals.

Attachment 15655

I know that in 2019, with all the editors and libraries that exist, it may be an irrelevant project. But I still wanted to share it with the community and get some feedback to either continue with it or definitely dismiss it.




Cheers,
Velorek.

#define _C_COOL_H_

I am 90 percent sure that having the header guards start with underline violates an rule/standard.

I see. I'll try to rename the library to fit the standards.

Thank you for letting me know,

Velorek

Congratulations for the initiative! Continue with the project because that way you help others who wish to learn more!
I have tested here, compiled and created a text and it worked!:)
