Lite XL

What Lite XL is

Lite XL is a free, lightweight text editor written in C and Lua, with a bundle smaller than 5MB. It runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS, and the project says it can also run on some single-board computers with weak ARM CPUs and 1GB of RAM. Default tools include multiline editing, autocomplete, pane splitting, and multi-cursor editing; macro recording is also listed. A file browser, fuzzy file finder, and project search help navigate work, but there is no find-and-replace across a project. Lua scripting supports customization, while plugins can add capabilities. The documented lpm plugin manager installs, updates, and uninstalls plugins. Lite XL does not include a language server client by default; an LSP plugin can add autocomplete, diagnostics, symbol search, and go-to-definition. Optional plugins include an integrated terminal, Git diff gutter, EditorConfig, and linter support. Official downloads are provided for Windows, Linux, and macOS, with minimum versions of Windows 7 SP2, Ubuntu 18.04, and OS X El Capitan. Lite XL is free software under the MIT license.
