Info

some basic info about using pyTeX text editor.

Config system

pyTeX has a config system for customizing commands.
All configurations are stored in config.json

If there is no such file as config.json, A new file is generated with default settings.
The config file is always stored in the same folder as the main script.

These are the contents with default settings in config.json

{
    "prefix": "$",
    "commands": {
        "info": ["i", "info"],
        "quit": ["q", "quit"],
        "open": ["o", "open"],
        "save": ["w", "s", "save"],
        "show": ["z", "show"],
        "clear": ["x", "clear"],
        "goto": ["g", "gt", "goto"],
        "help": ["h", "help"]
    }
}

• prefix: It is used to indicate the beginning of a command.

Tip - It is best to keep the prefix as a symbol that isnt common yet easy to reach. eg: $, !, ~, etc.

• commands: list of instructions that you can use to interact with pyTeX and perform various actions. As of version 0.6 there are 8 commands. They are:

•	Name	Description	Default Commands
1.	Info	Gives basic info	$i, $info
2.	Quit	Quits the editor	$q, $quit
3.	Open	Opens a local file	$o, $open
4.	Save	Saves the file content	$w, $s, $save
5.	Show	Shows the file content	$z, $show
6.	Clear	Clears the file content	$x, $clear
7.	Goto	Goes to the specified line	$g, $gt, $goto
8.	Help	Displays all available commands	$h, $help

Tip - It is best to leave the first prefixes for commands as it is.
