Versions for Win32 (x32) and Linux (x64 gtk2) exist: Ya.Disk.

They are portable.

Config

  • It has config system like ST3 editor: call "Settings-default" and you see default config. Copy any lines to config "Settings-user" and edit lines in user config. Config in JSON.
  • Lexer-override config: settings for single lexer only. E.g., you open Pascal file, config "lexer Pascal.json" is read after "user.json" config.
  • File-types config: specify in it mapping between file types (name or extension) and lexer names. Such mapping exists in lexer-library, this config overrides it.

Mouse shortcuts

Carets:

  • Ctrl+click - add/delete caret
  • Ctrl+drag - add caret with selection
  • Ctrl+Shift+click - add carets column in several lines (from previous caret to clicked line)

Select:

  • Alt+drag - select column of text (Note: it may look weird if word-wrap on, because wrap is not considered here at all. Simple rectangle of coordinates [x1,y1]-[x2,y2] is always selected, even if this gives bad looking screen)
  • drag on gutter's line numbers - select by entire lines
  • double-click and immediately drag - select text by words

Clicks:

  • double-click - select clicked word
  • triple-click - select entire line (limited by end-of-lines)
  • middle-button click - start "Browser Scroll" mode: circle mark appears and mouse moving around this mark auto-scrolls text in 4 directions; speed of scrolling depends on distance of cursor from circle mark (any click to turn off)
