Hi,

The application editors/litexl doesn't have its own litexl.desktop file therefore application launcher can't start it. 
$  ls /usr/local/share/applications/ | grep -i lite
$

So in order to start it you have to launch it from terminal like this:
$ /usr/local/bin/lite-xl

Or create yourself the desktop file by copying it from lite-xl's github repository:
$ fetch https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/blob/master/resources/linux/com.lite_xl.LiteXL.desktop -o ~/.local/share/applications/lite-xl.desktop

Icon is missing too:

    editors/lite-xl: install some nonessential but nice to have files

    Modern graphical environments usually give better user experience
    when programs are supplied with icon(s), .desktop file, etc.
