Caret - Text Editor [Chrome]

Post by BNOLI » 14 May 2020, 01:29



Caret is a graphical text editor modeled on Sublime Text, running completely offline (no Internet connection required) and capable of opening
and saving files anywhere on your hard drive. The goal of Caret is to provide a missing portion of the Chrome OS developer story:
serious programmer tooling without needing to install a second OS and learn Vim.

Current features:

- total offline support--no network connection required
- tabbed editing
- syntax highlighting for many languages, and lots of color themes (so, where's AHK's ? ;) )
- hackable settings files in JSON format
- remembers/restores open tabs (requires Chrome 31 for full support)
- open files directly from the Chrome OS file manager
- Project view with folder navigation and project-specific settings files (requires Chrome 31)
- Sublime-compatible keymappings, including multiple cursors and selections
- Command palette/smart "go to" functionality

Help documentation is available at the GitHub wiki, including a list of possible keyboard/menu commands: https://github.com/thomaswilburn/Caret/wiki

Caret is also 100% open-source: please feel free to contribute code and file bugs via the GitHub repo (see website link on Details tab,
or look in the menus for Settings > About Caret).

Happy scripting :)

PS. Caret's FAQ is telling that any language that can be handled by the ACE-editor, should be fine. So, at the web there are already several AHK language files for ACE available eg. like this one: https://github.com/Codiad/Codiad/blob/master/components/editor/ace-editor/mode-autohotkey.js ...
