Grapheme-aware editing
Move, select, and delete visible characters as grapheme clusters rather than splitting combining sequences.
Flagship desktop application
Write across scripts with confidence.
A complex-script-first Typst environment for research, publishing, and long-form multilingual writing. Typsastra combines Unicode-aware editing with a capable authoring and PDF workflow.
Typsastra desktop
Built for real writing
Editing behavior that respects the text.
Native composition
Preserve native input-method composition so complex text can be entered without fighting the editor.
Typst intelligence
Use Tinymist for diagnostics, completion, formatting, preview, and source synchronization.
Character-safe interaction
Edit what you see, not isolated code units.
Typsastra adds script-aware policies to CodeMirror 6 while keeping standard desktop editing conventions and native IME behavior.
- grapheme-aware cursor movement and deletion
- Unicode-aware search and selection
- image drag-and-drop and clipboard workflows
Long documents
Preview without rendering every page at once.
The bounded, virtualized PDF viewer limits active page work for more predictable interaction with long documents. Direct PDF viewing, search, selection, and copy are available in the same workspace.
Right-to-left scripts can be rendered and exported, but full first-class RTL editing remains planned work.
