README

From lapce/lapce · license Apache-2.0 · fetched Oct 29, 2026

Lapce (IPA: /læps/) is written in pure Rust, with a UI in Floem. It is designed with Rope Science from the Xi-Editor, enabling lightning-fast computation, and leverages wgpu for rendering. More information about the features of Lapce can be found on the main website and user documentation can be found on GitBook.

Features

  • Built-in LSP (Language Server Protocol) support to give you intelligent code features such as: completion, diagnostics and code actions
  • Modal editing support as first class citizen (Vim-like, and toggleable)
  • Built-in remote development support inspired by VSCode Remote Development. Enjoy the benefits of a "local" experience, and seamlessly gain the full power of a remote system. We also have Lapdev which can help manage your remote dev environments.
  • Plugins can be written in programming languages that can compile to the WASI format (C, Rust, AssemblyScript)
  • Built-in terminal, so you can execute commands in your workspace, without leaving Lapce.

Installation

You can find pre-built releases for Windows, Linux and macOS here, or installing with a package manager. If you'd like to compile from source, you can find the guide.

Contributing

Guidelines for contributing to Lapce can be found in CONTRIBUTING.md.
