Thank you for the recommendation. Just installed it is indeed fast. Will use it for a couple of weeks to see how things goes.

I have a separate 2009 ear 2 gb ram laptop which I am using as my note/comm device. I am using "mouse without borders" to control that device. I have a github repo as my note repo with VS code online. But I am looking for a better solution. I need to sync notes on both devices with vim bindings.

If you're at all interested (though I'm not doing releases yet), I have a fork called 'write-xl' (https://github.com/adamharrison/write-xl), which does have a git plugin that autocommits+pushes to git on double save (double ctrl+s), as well as a bunch of other standard markdown creative writing stuff (bolding on ctrl+b, spellcheck, etc..) . I use it on my android tablet for creative writing, and have disabled a bunch of the more expensive computations to get a smoother experience.

Are you interested in releases for something like that?

Sorry, for the late reply. I would definitely be interested. How can I try it?

I am not super familiar with lite-xl's plugin system and have only installed one plugin yet (the vim plugin).
