It is in its early stages of development, but looks promising! + +![Lapce is a Fast, Lightweight Open-Source Code Editor in Making][1] + +There are plenty of open-source code editors available for Linux. + +What would you think about another option: A **Rust-based** open source code editor focusing on performance? + +It should be **exciting**, right? + +Lapce is one such project in development that aims to present a feature-rich and fast code editor as an alternative to Microsoft's Visual Studio Code. + +The developer also mentions that it was inspired by [Xi-editor][2] (which is no longer in active development). + +### Lapce at its Pre-Alpha Stage + +![lapce editor][3] + +Although Lapce is not yet a complete offering, it has much to offer. + +So, seeing what we get as the stable releases approach closer should be interesting. + +The features worth highlighting include: + +* Command palette (quick actions). +* Customize the UI font, header height, font shadow, scroll width, etc. +* Built-in terminal. +* Vim-like modal editing. +* Connect to a remote computer. +* Code syntax highlighting, code completion, and similar essentials. +* Plugin system. +* Dark/light mode. + +While it focuses on performance, it looks good in terms of user experience (even though it is incomplete). + +![][4] + +If users get access to all the essential features one expects in a code editor, and a better-performing application, Lapce can be a popular choice in no time. + +### Download Lapce + +Lapce is available for Linux, macOS, and Windows as a pre-alpha build. + +For Linux, you just need to download and extract the tar.gz package and run the Lapce executable available using the GUI or the terminal. + +It is under heavy development at the moment. You can download the package for your platform and test it, but you should expect bugs and new releases soon enough. Explore its [GitHub page][5] for more information. + +[Lapce][6] + +I tried it on Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS, and noticed the UI freezing a couple of times. However, the functionalities that it provides seem impressive. + +💬 *What are your thoughts on Lapce as an open-source code editor built in Rust?
