Scoom Text Editor

Scoom Text Editor is a simple text editor written in C, inspired by the Kilo tutorial. This project was created to deepen understanding of terminal I/O, dynamic memory allocation, and raw mode handling in Unix systems.

Features

• Core editing functionality based on the Kilo text editor guide
• Custom enhancements, such as shift cursor movements
• Lightweight and fast
• Runs in the terminal
• No external dependencies (works out of the box on Unix-like systems)
