Caderno

Text editors are used for a bit more than just taking notes, writing novels, and so on. Building applications or web pages is done through writing tons of lines of code. However, it’s best to use specialized applications like Caderno to benefit from comfortable options, such as syntax highlighter, and more.

The application’s visual design allows individuals of all levels of experience to quickly get the hang of things. Most of the space represents your canvas, but it can be extended, thanks to tab support, just like your web browser, as well as the session manager, which allows you to save project states, and bring up separate windows for each.

Among its top features is file support. It allows you to work on projects of different types, such as XML, XSD, XSL, XSLT, DTD, CSS, JS, PHP, PHTML, JAVA, HTML, but also plain TXT, and INI configuration files. These are all supported for both import, as well as export.

You might end up scratching your head for a while when loading a particular type of project file, but the text is displayed in plain formatting, and no color differentiation. Don’t worry, syntax highlighting is included, but it first needs to be selected for the programming language in question. Settings instantly apply, and the whole canvas transforms to enhance working on that type of project.

Every supported format has its own syntax highlighting feature. What’s more, you can access the manager in order to configure all of them, in terms of color, as well as character attributes like bold, italic, underline, or strikeout.

Additional navigation options are at your disposal in order to quickly jump to specific lines, which become visible along with the syntax highlighter. Finding is easily done through a dedicated component, which can also be used to replace strings.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Caderno is a lightweight, practical editor which you can use to work on web projects of different types. File support is a plus, and so is the syntax highlighter. Multiple projects can be active at a time in different tabs, while search and replace functions make it easy to spot, and fix any potential errors.
