Obsidian Code Editor

Obsidian.mp4

A simple yet customizable code editor built using Tkinter, inspired by the aesthetics of Obsidian. This project leverages the tklinenums library for line number integration and idlelib for syntax highlighting.

Features

• Syntax Highlighting: Supports highlighting for common programming constructs like comments, keywords, built-in functions, strings, definitions, and numbers.
• Line Numbers: Integrated line numbers for easy code navigation.
• Customizable Themes: Easily switch between light and dark themes (Tokyo Night and Tokyo Light included) by modifying the settings.json file. Themes define colors for various UI elements and syntax highlighting.
• Clean UI: Minimalist design for a focused coding experience.

Installation

1. Prerequisites: Ensure you have Python 3 installed.
2. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Manavalan2517/Obsidian---Code-Editor.git

3. Install Dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

1. Run the application: Navigate to the project directory and execute the main Python script (the specific script isn't provided in the given files, but assuming it's named main.py):

   python main.py

2. Switching Themes: Modify the themePath value in Obsidian/themes/settings.json to point to the desired theme JSON file (e.g., "./Themes/tokyo-light.json").

Customization

• Themes: Create your own themes by duplicating one of the existing theme JSON files and modifying the color values. The theme files use hexadecimal color codes. Refer to the existing themes for the available color keys.
• Font: Change the font in the editor.py file by modifying the font argument in the self.configure call.

Contributing

Contributions are welcome! Feel free to open issues and pull requests.

Acknowledgements
