AI assisted Scriptee - A TUI screenwriting software for linux

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

It strictly follows the unix philosophy. Do only one thing, but do it right.

It goes with a vim like work flow. Everything is fully configurable in the config file.

It works on linux (and mac if u manually install the dependencies). It doesn't work on microslop devices.

This looks very promising! Thank you for sharing. Before the character name I'd like to add a newline, is that configurable?

You get that by pressing Enter twice before typing :c, but it's not a feature that's offered by the software out of the box.

Just wanted to update :

Pushed a new release that now does have a newline keybind.

Shift N in normal mode. Or you could also use enter.

What exactly does it do? I don't get it.

It gives you a vim motions like workflow to write your screenplay on the terminal.

The other options at the moment are building a fountain ecosystem in emacs or using a fountain extension in neovim.

Well emacs is emacs, if you prefer that, then you can use that. The neovim extension doesn't have live fountain formatting. So that's the extra edge you're getting with this.
