# Lumacs

A modern text editor in C++20, inspired by Emacs with powerful Lua scripting support.

## Features

### ✅ **Implemented (Phase 4 Complete - 95% Emacs Compatibility)**
- **Core Editing**: Kill ring, mark/region, undo/redo
- **Buffer Management**: Multiple buffers, window splits  
- **Advanced Features**: Registers, keyboard macros, rectangles, minibuffer history
- **Search**: Incremental search with highlighting
- **Theme System**: Dracula, Everforest, and default themes with proper background colors
- **Per-Window Modelines**: Configurable status bars for each buffer
- **Lua Scripting**: Extensive Lua API for customization

### 🔄 **Planned**
- Language modes (Python, C++, JavaScript)
- Plugin system expansion
- Performance optimizations

## Tech Stack

- **Core**: C++20 with modern idioms and ncurses
- **Scripting**: Lua 5.4 + sol2 bindings
- **Build**: CMake 3.20+
- **Themes**: RGB color support with fallbacks

## Quick Start

### Building
```bash
./scripts/build.sh
```

### Running
```bash
./build/lumacs [file]
```

### Key Bindings
- **Theme Switching**: `C-x t v` (Dracula), `C-x t e` (Everforest), `C-x t d` (Default)
- **Window Splits**: `C-x 2` (horizontal), `C-x 3` (vertical), `C-x 0` (close)
- **Buffers**: `C-x b` (switch), `C-x k` (kill), `C-x C-b` (list)
- **Advanced**: `F3/F4` (macros), `C-x r s/i` (registers), `C-x r k/y/t` (rectangles)

### Manual Build
```bash
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .
```

### With Nix
```bash
nix-shell
./scripts/build.sh
```

## Development

### Current Status: **Phase 4 Complete - 95% Emacs Compatibility Achieved**

The project uses modern C++ practices:
- RAII for resource management  
- Smart pointers for ownership
- `std::optional` for fallible operations
- Modern C++20 features

### Testing
```bash
./scripts/test.sh
```

### Customization
- Edit `init.lua` for keybindings and configuration
- Edit `themes.lua` for theme customization
- Add new themes in `src/theme.cpp`
