Quiet Text is a simple, minimalist text editor made with Python's Tkinter GUI library. Quiet Text aims to create a calming and distraction free text environment for writing code and taking notes.
- Create a visually pleasing text editor! ;)
- Add syntax highlighting for Python.
- Allow user's to launch the terminal and run their scripts from any platform.
- Add special markdown for making lists and notetaking.
- Allow full customization of the editor's theme and colors.
- Add helpful features for programming like autoclosing brackets and parenthesis.
This project requires a Python3 interpreter with Tkinter support. You can test it using
python3 -m tkinterIn case your (GNU/Linux) machine does not support tkinter, there's a way to run it inside Docker (whereas you can also use another base image than ubuntu):
FROM ubuntu
RUN apt update && apt install -y python3-tk x11-apps
RUN mkdir /code
WORKDIR /code
ADD . /code
CMD ["/usr/bin/python3", "-m", "quiet"]
Now, expose an environment variable to allow access to your host system XAUTH="$HOME/.Xauthority" and build the image using docker build -t quiet ..
You can start a container using
docker run --network=host --rm -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -v $XAUTH:/root/.Xauthority quietBe aware, that the Docker container has full access to your machine! So you better trust the executed code.
