# tte

tte (tiny text editor) is a terminal based text editor written in C from scratch, trying to be very minimalistic and dependency independent (it's not even using **curses**). 

This project was mainly created for educational purposes, so is very commented!

Thanks to [antirez](http://antirez.com) for inspiring me with his project `kilo` and [Jeremy Ruten](https://twitter.com/yjerem) for his tutorials.

If you are planning to use special characters like (á, é, í, ó, ú, ¡, ¿, ...) you must use `ISO 8859-1` encoding in your terminal. See [this issue](https://github.com/GrenderG/tte/issues/2) for more info.
