LE is a text editor which appears similar to the Norton Editor, but has many additional features:[2][3][4]

  • Rectangle select/copy/paste (block type is switchable)
  • Search/replace with regular expressions
  • Filtering block contents through an external program
  • Linear multilevel undo/redo
  • Customizable menus
  • Color syntax highlighting (using regular expressions in an external file)
  • Handles UTF-8 characters, based on locale settings
  • Customizable keymaps for different terminal types (associating either literal strings or terminfo capability names)
  • Hexadecimal editing mode
  • Editing of mmap'd files or devices in replace mode
  • Frame drawing mode (first seen in Lexicon)
  • File selection box (inspired by Turbo C)
  • Built-in postfix calculator.

It uses ncurses for display, mouse and part of the keyboard handling. The application has a built-in table of key assignments for xterm, rxvt and some less familiar terminal types.

History
