Roded

Roded (Ruby Object-oriented Development Environment eDitor) is a programmable editor and development environment in Ruby. The long-term goal is an editor that is fully scriptable from inside and outside (like Emacs with Elisp), but with Ruby as the extension language and a clean, frontend-agnostic core.

Direction

• Frontend-agnostic core: multiple frontends should exist (terminal, GUI, web-based) with no hard limit on how many.
• Fully programmable: the editor itself and all extensions are written in Ruby and can be modified live.
• More than an editor: intended to be a complete interactive development environment with automation, tooling integration, and collaborative workflows.

Current State

• Working curses frontend with a buffer model and minibuffer.
• Keymap support with configurable bindings.
• File open/save and basic editing commands.
• Logging to ~/.cache/roded/roded.log.

Getting Started

bin/setup
bundle exec bin/roded

Configuration

Keymap is loaded from ~/.config/roded/keymap.yml if present. Example:

"C-x C-c":
  type: quit
"M-x":
  type: start_command
