xwordgrinder - Xlib-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
xwordgrinder is a simple character cell word processor that runs on X11. 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.
