Lite XL – a lightweight text editor written in Lua, adapted from Lite. It is a lightweight text editor written mostly in Lua, it aims to provide something practical, pretty, small and fast easy to modify and extend, or to use without doing either.
The aim of Lite XL compared to lite is to be more user friendly, improve the quality of font rendering, and reduce CPU usage.
Lite XL has support for high DPI display on Windows and Linux and, since 1.16.7 release, it supports retina displays on macOS.
Please note that Lite XL is compatible with lite for most plugins and all color themes. We provide a separate lite-xl-plugins repository for Lite XL, because in some cases some adaptations may be needed to make them work better with Lite XL.
