vis - 0.9-1 main

Vis aims to be a modern, legacy free, simple yet efficient editor
combining the strengths of both vi(m) and sam. It extends vi's modal
editing with support for multiple cursors/selections and combines it
with sam's structural regular expression based command language.
.
As an universal editor it has decent Unicode support and should cope
with arbitrary files including: large, binary or single-line ones.
Syntax highlighting is provided using Parsing Expression Grammars which
can be conveniently expressed using Lua in the form of LPeg.
.
The editor core is written in a reasonable amount of clean (your mileage
may vary), modern and legacy free C code, enabling it to run in resource
constrained environments. The implementation should be easy to hack
on and encourage experimentation. There also exists a Lua API for
in-process extensions.
.
Vis strives to be simple and focuses on its core task: efficient text
management. Clipboard and digraph handling as well as a fuzzy file open
dialog are all provided by independent utilities.
.
The intention is not to be bug for bug compatible with vi(m), instead
the aim is to provide powerful editing features based on an elegant
design and clean implementation.
