NAVI // NAVICODE

same soul, new window.

naviCode is xvoidsx's VSCodium distribution — the familiar editor remade in nightshadeNeon, with agentic extensions woven into the workspace. It is navi's graphical editor from eiri, and it ships with navi: setup_navicode in install.sh adds the official VSCodium apt repo and installs the codium package on amd64 and arm64 alike.

naviCode editing the navi repo's install.sh, with two DeepSeek agents running in opencode panels beside the code — **naviCode at work on the navi repo.** install.sh open beside two DeepSeek agents running in opencode panels — the editor speaks the same language as the terminal.

SHIPPED · FROM EIRI

what's inside

naviCode starts from VSCodium — the open-source VS Code builds, without Microsoft's telemetry — and layers navi's own choices on top. Nothing here is a skin over a stranger's defaults; the distribution is the point.

VSCodium — the editor itself, from the official apt repo (download.vscodium.com), package codium. The extension ecosystem you already know, minus the phone-home.
nightshadeNeon — the theme, pre-installed. The editor looks like the rest of navi because it is the rest of navi: the same neon-on-black language as the terminal, the bar, and the browser.
Rina Hermes ACP — the agent extension, pre-installed. Lain sits in the sidebar through the Hermes ACP connection, so the agent that builds navi is one click from the code it builds.
Both architectures — amd64 and arm64 from the same repo, so the Pi machines and the x86 benches run the same editor.

The repo is github.com/xvoidsx/naviCode.

SHIPPED · THE AGENT LAYER

agents in the same window

The sidebar agent is Lain, through the pre-installed Rina Hermes ACP extension — the same agent story as the rest of navi, not a separate one invented for the editor. But naviCode doesn't lock you to one agent: the integrated terminal runs navi's terminal agents too.

The screenshot above is Raven's own setup: two DeepSeek agents running in opencode panels beside the code — not the Hermes sidebar, a different agent in a different surface, in the same window. That's the shape of the thing: the editor is where the agents already are, whichever one the work calls for. The wider agent story lives on the agents and navivim-agents pages.

TWO EDITORS, ONE SOUL

navivim, side by side

navi has two editors, and the choice is about habit, not hierarchy. navivim is the terminal editor — fast, keyboard-driven, at home in a tiling window. naviCode is the graphical editor — the same nightshadeNeon language, the same agent story, in a window with a mouse.

Same soul, new window. Use the one your hands already know; both are navi's editors, and both are maintained as first-class parts of the kit.

SHIPPED · WITH NAVI

get it

naviCode ships with navi — no separate install step, no navi-extras trip. setup_navicode runs as part of the install, alongside the rest of the desktop layer.

If the repo was unreachable at install time, the installer skips naviCode rather than failing the install — re-run install.sh with --yes later and it picks it up.

CLOSING / REFERENCE

the editor is part of the kit

naviCode is not a bonus app — it is one of the tools navi is built with, shipped the way the rest of the system is shipped: themed, agent-ready, and installed by default. The graphical editor and the terminal editor are two windows onto the same wired.
