tico

A friendly terminal text editor that keeps nano's key bindings and configuration, and adds syntax-aware (tree-sitter) highlighting.

Downloads, documentation and the FAQ are at ticoedit.org.

License

tico is released under the MIT License (see LICENSE), with these exceptions, all copied from the Helix editor and remaining under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 (see LICENSE-MPL-2.0):

• src/syntax/queries/diff.scm, src/syntax/queries/hcl.scm and src/syntax/queries/pascal.scm — see src/syntax/queries/README.md
• the built-in themes under themes/, other than tico-builtin-default.toml — see themes/README.md

Both READMEs record the provenance of every vendored file.

A few tree-sitter grammars are vendored too, under grammars/, each with a README recording its provenance: tree-sitter-vcl/, a fork of ntsk/tree-sitter-vcl (MIT) extended to cover Fastly's VCL dialect; tree-sitter-pascal/, a fork of Isopod/tree-sitter-pascal (MIT) extended to cover Turbo Pascal; and unmodified copies of tree-sitter-template-toolkit/ and tree-sitter-cue/ (both MIT), whose upstreams publish no usable crate. Every other grammar is a crates.io or git dependency.
