bbloc is a minimalist, open-source text editor for the Nintendo Switch.

Developed in C++ and utilizing SDL2, OpenGL, glad, Freetype, utfcpp, and tree-sitter.

Features

  • Undo/Redo.
  • Search/Replace.
  • "\t" does not align on columns (does not align well when mixing with spaces).
  • More and better syntax highlight.
  • Better error handling.
  • Better inline documentation.

User guide

The editor is divided into three main sections:

  • A top information bar displaying character position, current highlight mode, font size, etc.
  • A central text area for editing.
  • A bottom prompt bar for command input.

All editor functions, apart from direct text entry, are executed through a command system, accessible via the prompt (opened by default with "Ctrl+Shift+Space").

See readme for list of commands.
