• lite-xl

  54 4,383 8.7 Lua

  A lightweight text editor written in Lua

  

Looks like it's a known issue: https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/issues/1237

Maybe try 2.2 when it comes out?

• med

  6 87 3.4 D

  Micro Emacs in D

  

Here's another one with a very small footprint:

https://github.com/DigitalMars/med

It's the one I use every day. The executable on Windows is a little over a meg. It also works on Linux and Mac.

• lite-xl-ide

  1 15 6.7 Lua

  A set of plugins to convert lite-xl into a proper IDE.

  

I actually authored something for this to work with my workflow on lite-xl (I compile a mid-sized C++ codebase on the regular).

It's still not really ready for release, but it's here, in case you're at all interested: https://github.com/adamharrison/lite-xl-ide; it's a build system and debugger integration.

The build tasks don't run in a terminal however; they move over to a build window at the bottom of the editor. The execution, however, by default, runs in whatever terminal you want to configure, so the actual program output does dump to an external terminal. Unfortunately, there is no truly integrated terminal as of yet.

• lite-xl-plugin-manager

  1 85 9.4 Lua

  A lite-xl plugin manager.

  

We actually do have one, about to be released: https://github.com/adamharrison/lite-xl-plugin-manager

Comes with a plugin to provide a gui in lite-xl. Once this gets to 1.0, we'll probably start bundling it with the `addons` release.

• lite-xl-simplified

  1 14 6.0 Lua

  Lite XL with a simplified build process and file structure.

If anyone's interested, I do have a `.deb` build here; but it's not an official one: https://github.com/adamharrison/lite-xl-simplified/releases/...

• lapce

  178 33,269 9.7 Rust

  Lightning-fast and Powerful Code Editor written in Rust

  

https://github.com/lapce/lapce is not stable but already looks impressive.

• helix

  414 30,584 9.9 Rust

  A post-modern modal text editor.

  

That "exhaustive" list doesn't include Helix[1], an editor with more than 400 contributors and 17k GitHub stars, which has been in development for close to three years, and which is probably more widely used already than 95% of the editors on that list ever were.

• Terminus

  18 1,366 5.4 Python

  Bring a real terminal to Sublime Text (by randy3k)

- The debugger plugin which has the most complex workaround I have seen using sublime's html capabilities. It uses the panel to show html elements, buttons with images, texts, lists, tabs, everything thorough this workaround. But again, try to search text and you loose it.

That's mainly where VSCode "won", although I still daily drive Sublime when I am not on a "full blown IDE".
