All the things you want for editing.
-
Lightweight
Lite XL comes in a bundle less than 5MB and runs well on most platforms - from desktops to single board computers with a weak ARM CPU and 1GB of RAM.
-
Powerful
Lite XL is powerful and has many features of a "modern" text editor. Multiline editing, autocomplete and pane splitting are supported by default.
-
Hackable
Lite XL is insanely hackable — there are no rigid APIs to hold you back, and the code is simple to tinker with.
-
Customizable
Lite XL is completely scriptable with Lua. C is only used to communicate with the OS while Lua is used for everything else.
-
Portable
Lite XL runs on many platforms, including Windows, Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, Android, AmigaOS & MorphOS and the Web!
-
Hyperextensible
If Lite XL doesn't provide a feature you want, it's probably available with a plugin. Add and remove features from your editor at will.
