When a quick edit turns into a code change, Text Editor Pro keeps both tasks in the same tabbed workspace. It combines everyday text editing with syntax highlighting, code navigation, file search, and tools for viewing and formatting structured data.
Editing and code navigation
Tabs let you keep several documents open while editing. For code and scripts, syntax highlighting distinguishes language elements, and folding can collapse code, tags, or text sections. Multi-caret editing applies changes at several cursor positions; synchronized editing keeps related editor views in step.
Language Server Protocol support adds code navigation, including Ctrl+Click navigation when configured with a language server. The spell checker can flag words in text, while skins and numerous editor options let you adjust the workspace’s appearance and behavior.
Search and text utilities
Find in files searches across multiple directories, with support for SFTP locations and searchable results. Text comparison can show differences between documents.
- Format JSON, SQL, and XML; convert between JSON and XML.
- Optimize SVG files and use the character map or numerical unit converter.
- Use AI Chat from within the editor.
Previews and file views
The program can display images and PDFs, and preview Markdown, RTF, and SVG content. Markdown preview also supports export to HTML or PDF.
