About:
Le is a screen-oriented text editor designed for efficiency and advanced text manipulation. It provides robust block operations for moving, copying, and transforming large sections of text. Additionally, it features powerful binary file editing capabilities, making it suitable for developers working with both source code and raw data.
Key Features:
  • Screen-oriented interface with mouse support
  • Advanced block operations and text manipulation
  • Built-in binary file editing mode
  • Hexadecimal viewer and editor
  • Macro recording and playback
Use Cases:
  • Editing large text files and source code efficiently
  • Inspecting and modifying binary executables or data files
  • System administration tasks requiring precise text manipulation
Alternatives:
  • vim – Vim is more ubiquitous and extensible, but Le offers a more intuitive interface for block operations out of the box.
  • hexedit – Hexedit is specialized for binary files, whereas Le provides a unified environment for both text and binary editing.
