- the vendored nerdicons.lua was the pristine upstream copy, so installs
relying on the packaged plugin lost the tuned icon rendering (fractional
glyph size and default hinting made icons feel soft and uneven). Apply
the same tuning as the user config: whole-pixel icon size, hinting off,
scale-aware chevron offset.
- default config (skel + first-run template) and this repo's users keep
the status bar permanently visible: shown at startup, and the
status-bar:hide/toggle commands are no-ops.
Vendored from upstream, pinned by commit (see debian/extra/README.source):
- gitstatus, gitopen, fontconfig, open_ext, select_colorscheme,
smoothcaret, nerdicons (font mapping patched to DATADIR, Ships the
Symbols Nerd Font Mono TTF, SIL OFL 1.1)
- lite-xl-lsp (complete LSP client; idle until a language server is
configured) plus the lite-xl-widgets library it requires
- 104 language syntax plugins (none duplicate the nine bundled in core)
settings GUI left out upstream is broken: it requires a
libraries.widget.fonts widget that does not exist in
lite-xl-widgets at any revision.
Co-developed-with: ZCode (Z.ai)
- quilt patch: first-run user init.lua template now writes a tuned
default config (Dark Modern theme, JetBrains Mono with grayscale AA,
line-height/indent guides, compact treeview with hover highlight)
- new theme module usr/share/lite-xl/colors/vscode_dark.lua
- default config in /etc/skel/.config/lite-xl/ for new users
- desktop: launch via SDL software renderer with LITE_SCALE=1.5 so text
renders 1:1 on fractional-scaled Wayland outputs and avoids panfrost
GPU artifacts
- depend on fonts-jetbrains-mono for the default code font
