LazyDotIDE 0.0.7

LazyDotIDE

A very primitive, Neanderthal-level console IDE for .NET — for when you're SSH'd into a remote server and just need to fix something quickly without spinning up a real editor.

Honest disclaimer: This is a personal tool. It is not polished. It will not replace VS Code. It barely replaces nano. It exists because sometimes you're on a cloud server, something is broken, and you want a vaguely IDE-shaped thing rather than raw vi.

What it does

• Browse your project's files and directories in a tree panel
• Open and edit files in a tabbed editor (with basic C# syntax highlighting)
• Run dotnet build and see the output
• Run dotnet test and see the output
• Basic LSP integration (completions via OmniSharp / roslyn-ls, if available)
• Git status in the status bar
• NuGet package browser dialog
• Close tabs when you're done

What it doesn't do

• Pretty much everything a real IDE does
• Reliable multi-cursor editing
• Debugging
• Refactoring
• Work well if you sneeze near it

Built on

SharpConsoleUI — a console windowing library that is fairly stable but also still getting polished. Both projects are works in progress. This is fine.

Usage

# Run on a project directory
lazydotide /path/to/your/dotnet/project

# Or just run it in the current directory
lazydotide

Install as a dotnet tool

dotnet tool install --global LazyDotIDE

Or from source (with a sibling ConsoleEx/ directory for live SharpConsoleUI changes):

dotnet run --project /path/to/lazydotide -- /path/to/your/project

Keyboard shortcuts

Requirements

• .NET 9.0
• A terminal that supports ANSI escape codes (any modern SSH session should be fine)
• Low expectations
