“Editor” is the application that helps you to edit your documents and code. It has all the features of text editor and something more. There is a list of current features and it continues to increase:

  • Toolbar near keyboard
  • Number of lines and symbols counter
  • R-only: read-only mode (disables keyboard)
  • Autosave
  • Undo\redo
  • Search
  • Tab button
  • History
  • Code highlighting (javascript, qml, python and sh languages)
  • MIME-support

The application meets all basic requirements while working with documents.

Experimental:
-There is capability of numeration of lines. But this feature is experimental one that is why it works only for NOT loaded documents.

Some tips and comments:

  • Autosave feature stores your text in special file ending with ~, located in the directory where your original file is located. Don`t be afraid to forget to save the file or accidentally exit the app!
  • Don`t open files which ending with ~. The last version of document will be loaded automatically. So load only(!) original files.

Known bugs:

  • Combobox of tab can not be dynamically changed. It needs to reopen SettingsPage to see the changes.

Changelog: 

Version 0.9.1

Community reported fixes:
- Fixed hardcode of home folder
- Fixed onError bugs
- Updated translations

Note: I built it on 1701 Sailfish SDK because I have no ability to install newer right now. Tested on Jolla C. If somebody can re-build binaries on the latest SDK or implement CI in the repository it would be nice!

aarch64 contributed by levone1 from openrepos. Thanks!

Version 0.9

ADDED:
- Encoding manipulations
- opening different files than utf-8 should work better, you can specify your region or direct custom encoding type (by Python standards) (Asia cooperation needed, what are best encodings you use in Korea,China, Japan etc.)
- possibility to open file with different encoding
- possibility to save file with different encoding

CHANGED:
- Re-creation of the UI (a bit more informative and more minimized)
- On Ambience Theme you can pick your own color for the UI (buttons and some labels, but not all)
- better Ambience of the OS manipulation, mainly resolving differences on change between light or dark type of ambience
- few icons changed, button's icons have the same color as button's text
- "copy file path" - when you extend the menu on right side you have the path to file and encoding, just tap there to copy

FIXED:
- Line count works much more better(!), recounting on changing Landscape/Portrait mode

Known bugs:
- Combobox of tab can not be dynamically changed. It needs to reopen SettingsPage to see the changes.

Hi,

thanks for feedback. It is really very important for me.
Actually this idea with pulley menu not my original. I heard about it from @osanwe. :)

"BTW,  I have no "Save as" bug, I've saved a document containing 1 line (1 word) and the document created isn't empty!"
>Hm, interesting... I will test it again. If you will find any bugs report please. Stability of app is important.

Thanks again forr this comment :)

"One last thing: if you don't write c++, you can avoid compiling it and you can run your program with the following command"
> Thanks for tip. I will mention it but app has a bit of default C++ code + in the far future maybe I will rewrite Python code in C++ to speed up the app...

Really beautiful! :-)

an interesting feature request is "undo/redo". Many thanks :-)

GoAlexander's picture

Thank you! Feedback is very important for me on this stage of development. Undo/redo is planned but not soon because it is not so easy to implement.

If interesting there were buttons of undo/redo in pototypes but there was not backend. :)
