About
A back-to-basics libre code editor. The keyboard shortcuts are what you would expect. Default indentation is 4 spaces (this is not configurable), however for Makefiles the indentation will switch to real tabs. Simple also has autosave and autocomplete enabled. Simple uses the incredible IBM Plex Mono as its font. https://github.com/ryanpcmcquen/Simple
