Enigmata

the tauOS text editor

Enigmata is a text editor for the KIRI Desktop Environment. It's designed to be a simple, barebones text editor that can be used for light text editing tasks, but still has some QoL features like syntax highlighting and search and replace.

If you're looking for a full-featured text editor, you might want to look elsewhere. Consider using Zed or Visual Studio Code if you'd like a full-featured text editor.

It is written in Rust, and uses Helium + Relm4, as its GUI framework.

It makes use of GTKSourceView for its text editor component.

Enigmata is a rewrite of the original Enigma text editor, which was written in Vala and had even less features than Enigmata.

Features

• Syntax highlighting, theming, line number and other customization options via GTKSourceView
• Sleek, minimalistic UI based on the Helium HIG
• One window, one document interface. No tabs, just a window for each document
• Search and replace functionality, with regex, case sensitivity and whole word options available
