QEmacs (for Quick Emacs) is a very small but powerful text editor. It has the following features :
- Full screen editor with an Emacs look and feel with all Emacs common features: multi-buffer, multi-window, command mode, universal argument, keyboard macros, config file with C like syntax, minibuffer with completion and history.
- Can edit files of hundreds of megabytes quickly by using a highly optimized internal representation and by mmaping the file.
- Full UTF8 support, including bidirectional editing respecting the Unicode bidi algorithm. Arabic and Indic scripts handling (in progress).
- WYSIWYG HTML/XML/CSS2 mode graphical editing. Also supports lynx like rendering on VT100 terminals. WYSIWYG DocBook mode based on XML/CSS2 renderer.
- C mode: coloring with immediate update. Emacs like auto-indent.
- Shell mode: colorized VT100 emulation so that your shell work exactly as you expect. You can run interactive terminal apps directly in the process buffer: mc, MenuConfig, or even qemacs itself! Compile mode with next/prev error.
- Input methods for most languages, including Chinese (input methods come from the Yudit editor).
- Hexadecimal editing mode with insertion and block commands. Unicode hexa editing of UTF8 files also supported.
- Works on any VT100 terminals without termcap. UTF8 VT100 support included with double width glyphs.
- X11 support. Support multiple proportionnal fonts at the same time (as XEmacs).
- Small! Full version is about 150KB. Smaller custom versions can be built by removing modules.
