QtEdit4 - a text editor build in Qt6

qtedit4

qtedit4 is a text editor, which eventually will grow to be a full featured IDE. It is still under heavy developement.

History

The code was (once) hosted under GoogleCode svn. Since, Google killed this project the code has been migrated to git, and is hosted in github. Each of the sub tools got its own git repo, (which was not trivial! but doable, using svndumpfilter if you ask). Now, sub tools are loaded using CPM, as child CMake projects.

Why qtedit4? When Qt3 was a thing QtDesginer had the ability to edit text, and was looking like the idea was to make it a VisualBasic kind of IDE. Back then, the designer had an internal text editor, I think the idea was to make QtCreator more like VisualBasic. That was abandoned.

When Qt4 was released, my original code broke and I needed a soft reboot. I started a new project, called qtedit4.

This means that some of the code originated in Qt3, and got migrated to Qt6 over the last (too much) years.
