Flow Control is a fast, terminal-based programmer's text editor written in Zig with tree-sitter syntax highlighting for 70+ languages and preconfigured Language Server Protocol support. It features multi-cursor editing, configurable modal and non-modal keybindings (VS Code, Vim, Emacs, Helix styles), and runs on Linux, macOS, Windows, FreeBSD, and Android.

Use cases

• edit code in the terminal with fast syntax highlighting
• use a vim or helix style modal editor with LSP support
• edit very large files with thousands of cursors
• get zero-configuration language server integration for many languages
• use a lightweight vscode-like editor without leaving the terminal
• customize keybindings across multiple editing modes

When to choose

• you want a fast TUI editor with modern IDE features like LSP and tree-sitter highlighting
• you need modal and non-modal keybinding modes in one editor
• you work across Linux, macOS, Windows, FreeBSD, or Android/Termux
• you edit very large files and need a performant buffer implementation

When to avoid

• you need a full GUI IDE with debugging and refactoring tooling
• you require a mature plugin ecosystem or collaborative editing (still on the roadmap)
• your terminal lacks 24-bit color or NerdFont support
