• Web language detection for HTML, CSS/SCSS, JavaScript/JSX, TypeScript/TSX, and JSON
• clangd diagnostics, completion, hover, and go-to-definition
• PyRight diagnostics, completion, hover and go-to-definition for python
• VS Code-style Problems panel with clickable diagnostics
• Resizable Explorer file tree for the current directory
• New, Open, Save, Save As, and graceful Exit operations
• English and Spanish interface labels
• Keyboard shortcuts for common file operations
• Windows NSIS installer support

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 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. Packaged builds include these files in the application resources and load them from there.

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. HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, and JSON files use Monaco's built-in language support. For best project-wide header support, keep .clangd, .git, or compile_commands.json at the project root.

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
• 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.
