✨ Overview
Ctex is a clean, single-tab text editor designed with a focus on usability and a calm, focused writing experience. It’s perfect for users who want something more comfortable than Notepad without stepping into full IDE territory.

This release builds on the lean foundations of Ctex Lite, introducing thoughtful quality-of-life enhancements while keeping it lightweight and easy to run on most systems.
