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).

I do webdevelopment on my Chromebook for years. Normal i used Caret-editor, but it's not update anymore and have not a lot of functionality, so after searching a lot of time, don't found a good alternative, so last time using VSCode (linux), but this is not ChromeOS friendly and drain my battery (linux/Crostini). Until now, trying TextEditor, and works very well. Okay it missed some functions like Format Document/Beautifying and replace text, but is a good candidate to replace my 'old' Caret-editor and works nicely in ChromeOS. There only a few IDE's on ChromeOS, and the most are outdated or have a lot of bugs, TextEditor is at this moment my favorite. Hope see more functions in the future. Very good work! I like it :-)

It's just what I needed: Open an existing text file from a local drive or create one from scratch. Save the text file to a local drive.

Everything is great!!! The only thing I need is being able to type in Lua, that's it!

I like it. I wish (1) it could open in a tab and (2) it could enable code folding.

Can't believe the app opens half-window, and can't be resized. Unistalled immediately
