A networked text editor

• Ctrl+W: change windows
• Ctrl+Q: exit the editor (without saving)
• Ctrl+S: force a sync with the server (should not be required as this happens periodically anyways)
• :w <filename> in the command window: save the file on the server
• :wl <filename> in the command window: save the file locally
• :e <filename> in the command window: load a file on the server
• :cc in the command window: get the number of clients currently connected

• -a: address to connect to (string)
• -sp: port to connect to (string)
• -p : port to start server on (string)
• --server: start the server, even if the -a flag exists

If -a is set, a server is not launched, unless --server is also specified.

• ./editor normal invocation
• ./editor -a localhost connect to an already running server on this machine
• ./editor -a 192.168.1.100 connect to a server running on the IP 192.168.1.100 using the default port

• Compiling this editor requires g++ 4.9 or above due to the use of C++11 regex.
• Compiling this editor requires ncurses to be installed.
• To use the lockfree version, you must enable it at compile time:
  • make clean && make LOCKFREE=1
• This uses ncurses default coloring system, so make sure your terminal supports colors to see the syntax highlighting
• The default port is 29629, so make sure this isn't blocked
