LEA is a Lightweight Editor for Ada
Alire crate: here
Source repository #1: here
Source repository #2: here
Web site: here
Changes since last announcement here:
- For Ada or .gpr code, the copy operation puts an HTML-formatted version of the selection into the clipboard.
- Copy operation: when nothing is selected, copy the current line (VS / VS Code - style).
- Added “Alire mode”. The user can control alr build and alr run: Build → alr build; Run → alr run.
- LEA checks externally changed files and provide options to the user for handling that.
- Minor improvements (menu texts, colors, …)
Needless to say, the first item is perhaps the most valuable as you can now impress and/or annoy your coworkers
with e-mails containing formatted source code excerpts, like in this example:
The LEA executable is standalone, holds in 4 MB and doesn’t require an installation procedure.
