NOTE: Currently, the latest commits are bugged, so please use the files from a7c4f until these bugs are fixed. Many bugs have been fixed recently. There are still a few more to work on.
NOTE2: EdimCoder has been moved to Pijul's The Nest (https://nest.pijul.com) and now uses the Pijul VCS (https://pijul.org). You can find the Pijul repository here: https://nest.pijul.com/krixano/EdimCoder
A simple interactive line editor program inspired by vim, ed, 4coder, and modern editors. This readme was written using Edim.
