DESCRIPTION

ox is a text editor written in Rust that runs in the terminal. Unlike modal editors, you can begin typing straight away. It was built from the ground up without being based on any existing editor.
Features include a plug-in system, built-in terminal, file tree for project management, syntax highlighting, and tools to assist with programming. It supports Linux, macOS, and Windows.

CAVEATS

Not modal like vim — uses traditional editing keybindings. Plugin ecosystem is still growing.
