loom

loom is a terminal text editor for SBCL with Emacs-style keybindings. It combines raw-mode editing, window management, interactive PTY terminal sessions, shell commands, Git status, diff, and staging commands, code-formatting integration, auto-save, feature slices, and a bounded concurrent file-tree runtime.

The full documentation is published at nerima-lisp.github.io/loom.

Quick Start

With Nix and flakes enabled:

nix run github:nerima-lisp/loom -- path/to/file.lisp

Omit the path to start with the current directory as the file-tree root. Use M-x terminal for a PTY-backed child process and M-x auto-save-mode to enable sidecar auto-save for modified file-backed buffers.

Install

Pin a reviewed release or commit when adding loom to another flake:

inputs.loom = {
  url = "github:nerima-lisp/loom/v0.1.0";
  inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};

For a profile installation, run nix profile install github:nerima-lisp/loom/v0.1.0.
