This looks interesting. It would be really nice to be able to view the source for this, even if it comes with massive "beta quality, subject to change/incomplete" caveats everywhere.

I'm currently writing in D using GtkD (http://code.dlang.org/packages/gtk-d), and using Cairo to manage the text drawing.

It will not have a menu, just a console at bottom. I'm wanting it to be simple with some features that I like most and the keybindings that fit in my Dvorak layout better.

I'll release it at some point, but I want to polish more before that. :)

It you have thoses dependencies already then why not use gtksourceview for the editor stuff? It took me quite some time to do that ie. undo/redo system, text layout, highlight system, navigation, text anchors, efficient text and line gapbuffers etc. You get that for free with gtksourceview.

The Menu button will be different in the final version and maybe hidden by default.
I am used to emacs keybindings myself but have designed it around being able to use either emacs, vi or standard bindings.

I known the feeling :)

Sure, but then I'd miss all the "fun", as you said below:

I'm liking to play around with all these stuff. I'm writing this editor very slowly, a bit every weekend or when I've free time. :)

Hi,

This is an impressive work. I's really nice to see a presentation of how much help can be provided from the D editor and existing language labiaries.

I have several questions as well:

1. Was the libdparser integrated with extension system or is it embedded in the core?
2. What are the dependencies?
3. How hard it would be to change the feel&look of the gui as it is in conventional editors (Visual, MonoDeveop, GtCreator, Eclipse). I mean menus, buttons, views etc?

Cheers,
Piotrek

Done with the extension system.

> 2. What are the dependencies?

sdl2, opengl, freetype, libdparse (if you want the extension for D semantic)

I am keeping an eye on some of the native D input/window libraries that is being worked on in the hope of being able to replace the SDL2 dependency.

Would require some more views/controls to be created. The styling is done through CSS sheets. A common subset of CSS keys are supported but maybe a few more would be needed.

Please file any enhancement requests for any Devisualization projects you need. It would help me know what is needed of them more.
