About Lite XL

Lite XL is a lightweight text editor written in C and Lua, designed for developers who want a fast and responsive code editing environment. The editor runs well on a range of hardware, from standard desktops to single board computers with limited resources. It provides core editing features including multiline editing, autocomplete, and pane splitting. The tool is highly extensible and customizable through Lua scripting, allowing developers to add features via plugins or write custom themes to suit their preferences. The codebase is designed to be accessible for tinkering and modification. Lite XL runs across multiple platforms including Windows, Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, Android, AmigaOS, MorphOS, and the Web.

The tool is developed by lite-xl and released under the MIT License. It is available as a small pre-built bundle or can be compiled from source.
