Tip

Join the beta

Requirements

• Windows 10 or newer
• Node.js 20 or newer

The editor remains usable when python is unavailable, but PyRight language server will not function correctly.

Note

Please NOTE That from satiscode 1.2.0 onwards LLVM does not need to be installed. All new builds will contain clangd and its librarys and later there will be instructions for local testing.

Note

Please note that version 1.5.0 onwards will need python to be installed to use python linting.

Development

npm install
npm run build
npm start

Warning

A clean source checkout runs without clangd or Pyright because their server files are absent; the editor can still open and edit supported file types. Source mode looks for clangd in bin/ and Pyright in PythonLSP/ at the repository root. npm run build installs and compiles FIXSON and FIXML from their package directories; packaged builds include both bundles in the application resources.

Opening a .c, .cc, .cpp, .cxx, .h, .hh, .hpp, or .hxx file starts clangd only when its server files are available. Opening a .py file starts Pyright only when its server files are available. Opening a .json file starts FIXSON; .jsonc files retain Monaco's built-in support without strict JSON validation. XML documents (.xml, .xsd, .xsl, .xslt, .svg, and .plist) start FIXML. HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and TypeScript use Monaco's built-in language support.

Keyboard shortcuts

• Ctrl+N: New file
• Ctrl+O: Open file
• Ctrl+S: Save
• Ctrl+Shift+S: Save As
• Ctrl+f: Find
• Ctrl+.: Toggle Problems pannel

Build the Windows installer

npm run dist:win

The installer is written to dist\Satiscode Setup 1.0.0.exe. The installer is unsigned unless signing credentials are configured.

Project layout

• main.js: Electron main process, filesystem APIs, clangd process bridge, and shutdown handling
• preload.js: isolated renderer IPC API
• index.html: Monaco editor UI, Explorer, Problems panel, and language-service client
• packages/FIXSON-LSP: JSON language server sources and build configuration
• packages/FIXML-LSP: XML language server sources and build configuration
• icons.js: Loads the icon packs located in icons/
• themes.js: Loads theme files from the themes/ directory

Security notes

The renderer uses context isolation and does not have direct Node.js access. Filesystem and process operations are exposed through the preload bridge. Do not add unrestricted filesystem or shell APIs to the renderer.
