wordgrinder - console-based word processor
Contents
Configuration
The user config file is a Lua file which is loaded and executed before the program starts up. It defaults
to:
~/.wordgrinder/startup.luaDescription
wordgrinder is a simple character cell word processor that runs on the console. It is primarily designed
for text entry. It's designed to get the hell out of your way and let you write; it does very little, but
what it does it does well.
It supports Unicode, basic paragraph styles, basic character styles, basic screen markup, a menu
interface that means you don't have to remember complex key sequences, HTML import and export, and some
other useful features.
When running, pressing ESC (or ALT + menu shortcut key) will open the menu.
