vis online with Winfy

We have hosted the application vis in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about vis:

Vis aims to be a modern, legacy-free, simple yet efficient editor, combining the strengths of both vi(m) and sam. It extends vi's modal editing with built-in support for multiple cursors/selections and combines it with sam's structural regular expression-based command language. A universal editor, it has decent Unicode support and should cope with arbitrary files, including large, binary, or single-line ones. Efficient syntax highlighting is provided using Parsing Expression Grammars, which can be conveniently expressed using Lua in the form of LPG. The editor core is written in a reasonable amount of clean (your mileage may vary), modern and legacy-free C code, enabling it to run in resource-constrained environments. The implementation should be easy to hack on and encourage experimentation. There is also a Lua API for in-process extensions. Vis strives to be simple and focuses on its core task: efficient text management.

Features:

• The intention is not to be bug-for-bug compatible with vi(m)
• We aim to provide more powerful editing features based on an elegant design and clean implementation
• By default the configure script will try to auto detect support for Lua
• Efficient syntax highlighting is provided using Parsing Expression Grammars
• A universal editor, it has decent Unicode support and should cope with arbitrary files
• Vis strives to be simple and focuses on its core task

Programming Language: C.
