+ +Features
Fast and Minimalist
++ Textadept’s user interface is sleek and simple. Relentlessly + optimized for speed and minimalism over the years, the editor + consists of less than 2000 lines of C code and less than 4000 lines + of Lua code. +
+
+
+
Cross Platform
++ Textadept runs on Windows, Mac OSX, Linux, and BSD. It also has a + terminal version, which is ideal for work on remote machines. +
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
Remarkably Extensible
++ Textadept is an ideal editor for programmers who want endless + extensibility without sacrificing speed or succumbing to code bloat + and featuritis. The editor gives you complete control over the + entire application using the Lua programming language. Everything + from moving the caret to changing menus and key commands on-the-fly + to handling core events is possible. Its potential is vast. +
+Multiple Language Support
++ Being a programmer’s editor, Textadept excels at editing source + code. It understands the syntax and structure of more than 80 + different programming languages and recognizes hundreds of file + types. Textadept uses this knowledge to make viewing and editing + code faster and easier. It can also compile and run simple source + files. +
+Unlimited Split Views
++ The graphical version of Textadept supports unlimited view splitting + both vertically and horizontally. +
+
+
+
Customizable Themes
++ Textadept uses themes to customize its look and feel. It comes with + built-in light, dark, and terminal themes. +
+
+
+
+
+
+
Code Autocompletion
++ Not only can Textadept autocomplete words in files, but it can also + autocomplete symbols for programming languages and display API + documentation. +
+
+
+
+
Keyboard Driven
++ Textadept is entirely keyboard driven. The editor defines key + bindings for nearly every action. You can easily reassign existing + bindings or create new ones. Keys may be chained together or grouped + into language-specific keys or key modes. +
+Self Contained
++ Textadept’s binary packages are self-contained and need not be + installed. No administrator privilages are required either. +
+Learn More
Comprehensive Manual
++ Textadept comes with a comprehensive user manual in the + application’s doc/ directory. This manual is also available + online. It covers all of + Textadept’s main features, including installation, usage, + configuration, theming, scripting, and compilation. +
+Exhaustive API Documentation
++ Since Textadept is entirely scriptable with Lua, its API is heavily + documented. This documentation is located in the doc/api/ + directory (also available online), and is the + ultimate resource on scripting Textadept. (The editor’s Lua + internals also provide abundant scripting examples.) +
+Quick Reference
+
+
+
+
+
+ This reference contains a wealth of knowledge on how to script and + configure Textadept using Lua. It groups the editor’s rich API into + a series of tasks in a convenient and easy-to-use manner. It serves + as the perfect complement to Textadept’s Manual and API + documentation. +
+Try It Yourself
++ Learn even more about Textadept by downloading and trying it out + yourself. If you’re not completely satisfied, contact us on the + mailing list or e-mail me + personally (mitchell.att.foicica.com). You may also fork the project + or submit patches. Textadept is 100% open source. +
