*Lx* is an independent **Text Editor** and **Asset Viewer** by *Liqube*, inspired by *rxi's* Lite.

In a time where software seems to be following the toxic trend of hand-holding everything you do,
*Lx* follows a design where your workflow is central and must not be interrupted through
undesirable behaviors like unexpected auto-complete or text insertions.

What you type, *you* type.

Any additional behaviors may be provided as part of the core feature set or via third-party plugins,
and while a starting feature set was pre-selected, most of them are opt-in.

While *Lx* is largely incompatible with the legacy minimal core carried forward from Lite
and its various descendants, some elements intentionally remain familiar, but are extended
in both scope and capability. For example, the core structure of language plugins (here called
*Lx* format modules) remains recognizable.

*Lx* has deliberately taken its own direction, emphasizing consistent speed, cohesive features
and design, as well as carefully tuned usability for power users.

The current state is far from final and may change shape several times as the project evolves.

## Additional fonts

`lx-fontpack` is separately available and adds support for CJK (Chinese/Japanese/Korean),
Arabic, Bengali, Devanagari, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, and Thai fonts that automatically
integrate into *Lx*.

Unpack it to the same folder as the *Lx* base package and run `lx` as usual.
