Lite XL - Fast, Lightweight, Extensible Text Editor
3 projects | dev.to | 26 Jul 2021

After having tried different text editors I used to go with Sublime Text. It was somewhat lightweight (25 MB) and it was fast on small projects. This was until I ran into rxi/lite, a tiny (1 MB) and really fast text editor, which is incredibly easy to write plugins and syntax highlighting for. After having used this editor for some time, I realized that the editor wasn't really being updated anymore, this is where I ran into lite-xl. A fork of lite but with the focus on better rendering and even better performance.

There appears to be an offshoot called lite-xl that seems actually maintained, but it's not that much better. It, too, misses a scrollbar for one. It is also unable to properly display non-latin filenames, just like lite.
