A while ago, David Malcolm made Augviewer, a small pygtk app to display the tree and corresponding content of a file. That was so nice, I wanted to improve on that, and created Augedit, an editor for Augeas. It uses Gtk, but rewrote it in Vala instead. It uses the Augeas-Vala bindings for that.
If you are more interested, I wrote a small blog entry about it [1]. I do have some issue with Gtk.TextView. Tags used to highlight the key/value matched do not seems to support transparency, thus we can't highlight what the whole sub-tree matches. I don't know what to do about it, maybe pango can be used here. The edition feature is still to be implemented, and I'm not sure how to do it correctly. If the text view is modified, then the easy way would be to parse the file again and replace the tree model. Maybe we can use indexes to know whether the label or the value is modified and update the tree node directly, then it would not require to reload the file every time. I'm worried about partial updated, where the file get or tree put may not be consistent. Cheers! Francis Giraldeau [1] http://multivax.blogspot.com/2013/03/augedit-prototype.html
