Stupid Text Editor

Currently under heavy development

What is Miv?

Miv is a STUPID text editor. The term "Miv" has no meaning and is just a play on words with "Vim"!

It has no superiority over other editors and only is developed for personal purposes! also it can be a good resource if you want to know how text editors work.

Compiling

miv's Issues

Refactor Indentations

some methods (such Editor::remove_char) are not following code-style indentation

Refactor Editor::insert_char and Editor::remove_char

it's a good idea to have foolish methods! these methods must give line as a string parameter instead of calculating line number each time.

so the we can get line in another method and pass it to these methods.

Refactor Editor::remove_char

removing a character must be applied in File class!
for now, Editor::remove_char is doing this which is illogical

Refactor Editor methods

all Editor Class methods except refresh_screen() and process_key() must become private.
