#### Lightweight GTK code editor

Twig is a small GTK code editor intended for lightweight Linux desktops. It focuses on the basics: one file per window, open/save, syntax highlighting, line numbers, find/replace, undo/redo, dirty indicators, and save before-close prompts. Twig doesn't have a toolbar or menu bar, see the keybinds at <https://harrisonerd.com/twig>
