[Feature Request] CLI arguments #1603

Open

Description

Some background

I just downloaded the AppImage to give this interesting lightweight application a try. The first things I typically try are --version and --help, but to my surprise they opened the lite-xl with new files named --version and --help.

Suggestion

It would be awesome if some CLI argument can be accepted by the binary. I suggest the following:

  • -v and --version to show the version (would be extra useful if it can also show version number info of the plugins)
  • -h and --help to show CLI help along with the link to the Github repo where users can get access to more help. It should explain that a list of space separated files and folders can be added as arguments.
