TextEditor+ 1.0.0

The first release of TextEditor+, a lightweight code and text editor for macOS, Windows and Linux, written in C++ with Qt 6. The pre-compiled version of the application for systems running macOS 27 or higher is available via the link below.

TextEditor+ is the OS-native version of Web TextEditor. It keeps the same look and features, and adds native file handling, printing, find/replace and more.

Highlights

  • Syntax highlighting for HTML (including embedded <script> and <style>), CSS, JavaScript, C and C++, picked automatically from the file extension
  • Dracula (dark) and Eclipse (light) themes, matching the web version
  • Find and replace with match case, whole word, regular expressions and \1 back-references
  • Printing of the whole file or a selection, in colours suited to paper
  • Native file handling: your system's Open/Save dialogs, an unsaved-changes marker in the title bar, and a prompt before closing
  • Editing: line numbers, current-line highlight, auto-indent, word wrap, Go to Line
  • Fonts and zoom: pick any installed monospace font; zoom with A+/A− or Ctrl/Cmd + scroll wheel
  • Faithful saving: keeps each file's line endings (LF/CRLF) and encoding (UTF-8 or Latin-1). Saves are atomic, so a failed save never leaves a half-written file.
  • Safeguards: won't open devices or pipes, and asks before opening binary files or files over 50 MB
  • Open files by drag and drop or from the command line
  • Remembers your window size, font, theme and word-wrap setting
