## a programmer's text editor
|
|
|
|
Flow Control is under active development, but very stable.
|
|
|
|
[]($video.siteAsset('video/flow-control.mp4').controls(true))
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 🚀 Features
|
|
|
|
- **Lightning Fast** TUI with ≤6ms frame times, **low latency** input
|
|
handling and smooth **animated scrolling**
|
|
|
|
- Intuitive UI with **tabs**, **splits**, **scrollbars** and **palettes**
|
|
with full **mouse** support for all UI elements
|
|
|
|
- Support for more than **70 programming languages**, **zero
|
|
configuration** needed, via **tree-sitter** powered syntax highlighting
|
|
|
|
- **Language Server Protocol** pre configured support for most language
|
|
servers with support for inline auto completion, symbol lookup, goto
|
|
definition, highlight references, hover and more
|
|
|
|
- Powerful **multi-cursor** editing and integrated **clipboard history**
|
|
|
|
- Powerful configurable keybinding system that supports **modal** and
|
|
**non-modal** editing styles
|
|
|
|
- Multiple pre-configured **keybinding modes**
|
|
- Flow Control - GUI IDE style bindings (similar to vscode)
|
|
- Emacs
|
|
- Vim
|
|
- Helix
|
|
- User created
|
|
|
|
- Hybrid rope/piece-table buffer system, edit **very large files** with
|
|
**thousands of cursors**
|
|
|
|
- Infinite **undo** (at least until you run out of ram)
|
|
|
|
- Full **unicode** support, including support for the kitty text sizing
|
|
protocol
|
|
|
|
- Plenty of **themes** included and support for vscode themes via the
|
|
flow-themes project
|
|
|
|
- Runs on **Linux, FreeBSD, MacOS, Windows and Android** (under termux)
|
|
with easy **cross-compilation** to all supported targets
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- A modern terminal with **24bit color** and, ideally, **kitty keyboard
|
|
protocol** support. **Kitty**, **Foot** and **Ghostty** are the
|
|
recommended terminals at this time. **Zellij** also works well. Most
|
|
other terminals will work, but likely with reduced functionality.
|
|
|
|
- **NerdFont** support. Either via terminal font fallback or a patched
|
|
font.
|
|
|
|
- A **UTF-8** locale
|
|
