+ UI +
+ +Textadept's user interface was designed to be simple. It consists of an optional +menubar, editor view, initially hidden find/replace dialog, initially hidden +command entry, and statusbar. Below are brief descriptions of these features. +More in-depth discussion about some of them is provided later in the manual. + +## Menubar + +The completely customizable (and optional!) menubar typically provides access to +all of Textadept's features. + +## Editor View + +The editor view is where you will spend most of your time in Textadept. It +supports unlimited split views and is completely controllable by Lua. + +## Find and Replace Dialog + +This compact dialog is a great way to slice and dice through your document or +directory of files. You can even find and replace text using Lua patterns. It is +available when you need it and quickly gets out of your way when you do not, +minimizing distractions. + +## Command Entry + +The versitile command entry functions as both a place to execute Lua commands +with the internal Lua state and find text incrementally. You can extend it to do +even more if you would like. Like the find/replace dialog, the command entry +pops in and out as you wish. + +## Statusbar + +The left side of the statusbar displays any status messages. The right side +shows the current buffer's status. + +
