Philosophy of Tine
Tine is a simple text/code editor that was initially designed as my primary work tool, so I only implemented features that I personally needed. Over time, however, it became clear that it might also be useful to others.
The main goal of this editor is to keep the focus entirely on text editing and to avoid distractions from buttons, tabs, menus, and animations. Therefore, there is almost no UI. Text navigation and editor interaction are strictly designed for keyboard use (since I dislike moving my hands off the keyboard while typing). However, some basic mouse support was added later, primarily for situations like quickly presenting code to colleagues.
Because I mostly use C and C++ at work, the editor is primarily optimized for these languages.
Having used Emacs extensively, my Ctrl key is remapped to Caps Lock. I believe this position is far more ergonomic and highly recommend doing the same. The default Tine keybindings rely heavily on the Control key. In addition, the right-hand touch-typing home position is used as the basis for cursor movement (though the arrow keys can also be used).
