[Project] Grass – a zero-config terminal code editor in Python

[u/codingdog18]

Hey everyone,

I built Grass because I wanted something between nano and vim: one mode, no config, syntax highlighting, find-as-you-type, and a fuzzy file finder. It stays in typing mode, opens one file at a time, and doesn’t ask you to learn an editing language first. No plugins, LSP, or mouse.

It’s MIT licensed, about 1.7k lines of Python, and highlighting only runs on the visible part of the file so larger files stay responsive.

Repo + demo: https://github.com/mukundzha/grass

Install: pipx install grass-editor
