led is a simple and easy-to-use but yet powerful line-oriented text editor. It is written in Urn Lisp and compiled to Lua, so it is available for every platform where Lua (version 5.1 or higher) is available as well; however some special features are available only with Lua 5.1 (or LuaJIT) on AmigaOS, MorphOS, AROS and UNIX with XTerm. The latest release (18-Mar-2021) now supports also scripts.

leds is a light source code editor for the D language. Build on D with DUI (a binding to GTK+) and Scintilla. leds is available for Linux (Windows version just days away). leds supports: syntax highlight, project management, code browser, and more

limelight.vim is a minimalist plugin that enhances focus by subtly dimming all but the paragraph or block surrounding the cursor. It’s designed to complement distraction-free modes such as goyo.vim, helping writers and coders keep attention on their current context. The plugin adjusts highlight groups dynamically so the active text remains clear while surrounding text fades into a low-contrast tone. It supports fine-grained control over opacity and integrates with any colorscheme without breaking syntax highlighting. Because it’s lightweight and entirely written in Vimscript, it runs smoothly even on large files. The visual effect creates a calm, spotlight-like environment that reduces visual clutter while editing prose, code comments, or long documentation files.

Includes a package for the Lazarus IDE that adds items to the File | New dialog. Selecting "qooxdoo JavaScript App" creates either a single-page or two-page master-detail qooxdoo app and a Lazarus project for managing and editing the app's JavaScript files. Selecting "qooxdoo JavaScript Page" adds a page to the app and to the Lazarus project. Can also "compile" (run generate.py) from within Lazarus - if a syntax error is detected, the code editor jumps to the JavaScript file and line where the error is located. Also includes full source code for the Unicodum demo app. This is a Unicode viewer consisting of a qooxdoo-based mobile client and a choice of Pascal (FCGI) or PHP server app.

vim-rails is a powerful plugin by Tim Pope designed to enhance the development experience of Ruby on Rails applications inside Vim. It understands the Rails directory structure (app, config, db, lib, etc) and allows you to quickly jump between corresponding files (for example from a model to its test, or a view to its controller) via convenient mappings. It also augments Vim’s built-in file navigation (for example via gf) so that links in embedded Ruby templates or route definitions can open the correct destination. In addition to navigation, the plugin provides commands to generate scaffolding, migrate the database, switch environments, and so on, making many common Rails tasks accessible without leaving the editor. The plugin emphasizes staying within Vim and minimizing context-switching, which boosts productivity for Rails developers.

rust.vim is the official Vim plugin from the Rust Lang Foundation team that adds support for Rust files in Vim and Neovim. It provides file-detection (so .rs files are recognised), syntax highlighting tuned for Rust’s syntax and macros, and supports formatting via rustfmt and other language-specific tooling. The plugin also integrates with other Vim tools and linters, helping you build a full Rust-editing workflow in Vim. Because Rust’s macro system and language features are more complex than many languages, rust.vim handles special tokens and highlights accordingly. Though it doesn’t itself provide full language-server (LSP) capabilities, it lays the foundation so you can plug in LSP or other completion/diagnostic plugins. Many Rust users say that rust.vim is a reliable baseline for making Vim feel like a competent Rust editor rather than a bare text editor.

targets.vim extends Vim with a rich set of additional text objects that work like native “inside/around” (i/a) objects but cover more delimiters and structures. It introduces flexible objects for arguments, separators, quotes, tags, and custom pairs so you can select, change, or delete logical units with fewer keystrokes. The plugin also adds “next” and “last” variants, enabling you to operate on the upcoming or previous occurrence without moving the cursor first. Its design emphasizes predictability: the same mental model as built-in objects applies across many new patterns. Because it’s purely text-object oriented, it composes naturally with motions, operators, and dot-repeat for powerful refactors. This dramatically speeds structural edits in code and markup where consistent delimiter logic matters.

vim-unimpaired provides a rich set of bracket mappings that make navigation and editing faster with consistent, memorable keys. It standardizes “previous/next” operations across lists like buffers, quickfix, location lists, and tags so your muscle memory stays the same. The plugin also adds convenience motions for moving between version-control conflict markers when resolving merges. It includes utilities for inserting blank lines above or below without leaving normal mode, improving flow for structural edits. Paste mappings are adjusted so linewise pastes respect indentation and placement. The goal is to give you a toolbox of tiny, orthogonal improvements that feel native to Vim rather than an intrusive remapping of fundamentals.

vue-codemirror v5/v6 has been released. This is a new version based on CodeMirror@6 and is available to Vue3 only. Since CodeMirror@6 is developed with native ES Modules, the new version will no longer support direct browser references to UMD modules.

wxEditor is an open-source cross-platform code editor written in wxEuphoria. wxEditor is still in "beta" stages of development and may not yet be ready for daily use.

Blur Studio APIs, Libraries and Tools What's New: The minimum recommended version of Python to use is 2.7.14. 3ds Max 2019 support was added, 3ds Max 2016 support was dropped. This package includes: blurdev, blurpath, Py3dsMax, and blur3d. Blurdev is the central python package for most python packages and modules created at Blur. It is designed as a sort of umbrella package for other packages and libraries, it has modules and libraries for many different things. Some examples are: - A debugging message library. - Blur IDE, a full-featured code editor - A wide array of libraries with convenience methods for dealing with alembic files, fume grids, vegas exports, windows clipboards, filepaths, etc. - Treegrunt, a utility for acessing all other tools - A large number of PyQt widgets.
