    select version:
    https://chiselapp.com/user/sergey6661313/repository/ScalpiEditor/timeline?advm=0&ms=exact&n=20&ss=x&t&udc=1&y=ci
    just click to hash-summ link about selected leaf
    find link to tar.gz and download it.

    or if you're lucky you can try just clone latest version: https://chiselapp.com/user/sergey6661313/repository/ScalpiEditor/info?name=tip
    $ fossil clone https://chiselapp.com/user/sergey6661313/repository/ScalpiEditor ScalpiEditor.fossil
    $ mkdir ScalpiEditor
    $ cd ScalpiEditor
    $ fossil open ../ScalpiEditor.fossil

#### after compiling you may rename and copy binary to "~/bin/se" like this:
    $ cp ./zig-out/bin/ScalpiEditor ~/bin/se

#### and add this lines to config (".bashrc" file for bash) for easy use:
    export EDITOR="~/bin/se"
    export PATH="~/bin:$PATH"

FAQ:

* pasta from system clipboard makes the text move apart
    try paste multiline text only in folded mode (ctrl+e)

* copy to file not work
    copy to file copyid only cutted lines...
    first clear "cut" buffer with [Alt] + [z]
    then copy blocks with ctrl + c to "cut" buffer
    and then use [Alt]+[c]

* Why did I refuse to parse the colon in the file name? 
    In the linux operating system, files with a colon in the name are often created.

* Nothing work or crash on start
    Use only stable version (green commits).
    Use terminal only with monospaced fonts. crazy fonts giving crazy resaults.

* Does not offer to save the file on exit.
    Idiot protection does not work, if the fool is used to pressing "y" on every programm.

* Why i not support UTF? why  display only ansi symbols?
    just help me write this :))

* no history
    partialy undo work - only for current line.
    the editor doesn't have to keep the whole history, it's a job for csv. 
    like fossil, git or any you want
    do not make many changes to the code at once.
    It's unhealthy.

* how to open and close multiple files?
    just use multiple tabs in your terminal. (if terminal can this)
    or use multiple terminals (if you use graphical mode)
    or use any terminal multiplexer.
    and use [Alt]+[c] and [Alt]+[v] for copy paste

* Mouse not work
    I use scroling for view terminal history.
    I don not ability to catch only buttons without catch scrolling.

additional tips for linux:

i use "sakura" terminal. There no work "ctrl+shift+left" key-sequence but other thing work norm.
previously i try terminals: zutty, kitty, alacritty, Terminology - good (not perfect) work.

## you may rename and copy binary to "~/bin/se" like this:
    cp ./ScalpiEditor.exe ~/bin/se

additional tips for windows:

in windows need use modern terminal emulator (and just delete some binding keys from menu)

## you can try add folder with bin file to system path like this:

    ## temporaly:
        $env:path += ";$($pwd.Path)"

    ## temporally for your custom folder
        $env:path += ";C:\TopSecret\Bin"

    ## or
        $addPath = 'C:\TopSecret\Bin'

    ## or for not temporally:
        [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Path", $env:Path + ";$($pwd.Path)", "User")

list of bindings:

warning! the operation of certain key combinations depends on the terminal and not on me.
if key combination not work try alternative version of combination or use alternative terminal.
(for reference: in some programs all key combinations work, not because their code is correct, but because they use dirty hacks. For example, they intercept the keyboard through root access. - such programs need to be “installed” into the system, instead of just copying and I don't like installers - that won't happen in my text editor.)

basic keys:
	help         [F1] 
	save         [Ctrl]  +  [s]
	exit         [Ctrl]  +  [q]
	fold/unfold  [Ctrl]  +  [e]

navigation:
	use arrows for navigation 
	or Alt with wasd 
	or Alt with hjkl

	enter block            [Tab]
	leave block            [Esc] 
	go to start of line    [Home] or  [Ctrl] + [Shift] + [Left]
	go to end   of line    [End]  or  [Ctrl] + [Shift] + [Right]
	go to first line       [Ctrl]  +  [Up]
	go to last  line       [Ctrl]  +  [Down]
	go to line from number [Ctrl]  +  [g]
	go to left   word      [Ctrl]  +  [Left]
	go to right  word      [Ctrl]  +  [Right]
	go to prev paragraph   [Alt] + [;]
	go to next paragraph   [Alt] + [']

	easy motion:
		vertical:              [Alt]   +  [q]
		horizontal:            [Alt]   +  [e]

symbol interacting:
	insert as prev        [any symbol]
	delete prev           [BackSpace]
	delete next           [Del]

lines/blocks interacting:
	split line             [Enter]
	join lines             [Ctrl]  +  [j] // also sometimes [Ctrl] + [enter] work
	move up                [Alt]   +  [Up]  // not work on some terminals...
	move down              [Alt]   +  [Down]
	move out current block [Alt]   +  [8]
	clear line             [Shift] +  [Del]

word interactig:
	delete current word:               [ctrl]  +  [w]
	copy current word to find buffer:  [Alt]   +  [1]

indents:
	copy intervalls from up line   [f5]
	copy intervalls from down line [f6]
	move indent to left            [Alt] + [<] // not work on some terminals
	add indent                     [Alt] + [>]

mark:
	mark                    [Alt]   +  [m]
	jump to mark            [Alt]   +  [g]
	move block outside mark [Alt]   +  [o] (only in folded mode)
	move block inside mark  [Alt]   +  [9] (only in folded mode)
	move block before mark  [Alt]   +  [0]

also there are 4 buffers:
	1) buffer for blocks/lines:
		duplicate              [Ctrl]  +  [d]
		cut                    [Ctrl]  +  [x]
		copy                   [Ctrl]  +  [c]
		paste (block)          [Ctrl]  +  [v]
		discard cutted/coppied [Alt]   +  [z]

	2) external buffer (file "clipboard.txt")
		copy                   [Alt]  +  [c]
		paste                  [Alt]  +  [v]

	3) buffer for finding text:
		edit buffer              [Ctrl]  +  [f]
		copy current word        [Alt]   +  [1]
		find prev:               [Alt]   +  [2]
		find next:               [Alt]   +  [3]
		paste                    [Alt]   +  [4]

		for current block: (in folded mode find only in current level)
			find next                [Alt]   +  [8]
			find prev:               [Alt]   +  [7]

	4) buffer for replace text
		edit buffer:       [Alt]   +  [5]
		replace finded:    [Alt]   +  [6] // for replace need cursor placed on start of finding text

	5) buffer for macroses
		start record macro             [F1]
		stop record macro              [F2]
		play latest recorded macro     [F3]
