Overview

Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

Text Editor is a full-featured text & code editor add-on for your browser.

This add-on has plenty of options to adjust and is built on top of the famous CodeMirror open-source JavaScript library (https://codemirror.net/). Once you open the add-on for the first time, you will see a sidebar at the left and an empty text editor at the right. The left sidebar includes file I/O buttons. For example, a button to open file(s) or settings. There is also a right sidebar that includes all the options for this app.

Note 1: This extension uses the new file system access API (https://web.dev/file-system-access/) to open and save files to disk. But, if your browser does not support this new API, it uses the - downloads - API instead to save files to disk in the default download folder (asks for downloads permission when opening the interface).

Note 2: Currently, Text Editor supports three key-maps for famous text editors (i.e. sublime). Moreover, it supports more than 100 coding languages (i.e. JavaScript, CSS, HTML, etc.)

If you have a feature request or found a bug to report, please fill the bug report form in the add-on's homepage (https://mybrowseraddon.com/text-editor.html).

Nice, lean editor but lacking text search/replace so only 4 stars.

I'm not a coder, but I made constant use of Caret for various kinds of text manipulation. I needed to find a similarly powerful text editor that I can use once Chrome app support ends - and this is definitely it. I love it!

I didn't find an option that allows the editor to open inside the browser tab. It opens as a pop-up window. To me being able to open inside the browser with the ability to store either in the local or remote drive is essential. I would like the app to open the editor in a manner similar to another chrome plugin called Papier Without this ability, I find the app simply not useful.

Amazing extension if you want to get some work done on a chromebook. A lot of times I'm sitting in study hall, bored and wasting time, but then I open this up and I'm able to easily get some work done on my websites. Although the real reason I gave it five stars was because the matrix theme is better than any other theme that any other text editor provides. One tiny suggestion I have is the option to toggle between the bigger button gui and the old one, but other than that, I would give this 6 stars if I could!
