Zep is an embeddable C++ text editor library with a rendering-agnostic design and optional Vim keystroke support. It can render into a Qt widget or an ImGui window, making it suitable for embedding in game engines and other applications.

Use cases

  • embed a code editor in a game engine
  • add a vim-like text editor to an imgui application
  • embed a mini editor in a qt app
  • implement a console/repl editor for game scripting
  • add syntax highlighting to an embedded editor

When to choose

  • you need an embeddable editor component rather than a standalone editor
  • you want vim keystroke support inside your own application
  • you render with ImGui or Qt and want a ready-made editor widget

When to avoid

  • you just want a full standalone text editor like VS Code or Vim
  • you need a JavaScript/web-based editor component
  • you require extensive language LSP integration out of the box
