Kinesics Text Editor

Kinesics Text Editor is a useful and highly configurable editing tool that packs both a native GUI version and a console version.

Since it does not have any type of special requirements, the application can be deployed on your computer's system in mere seconds by relying on its intuitive wizard-based installer.

As expected from a basic notepad-like application, the main window is used almost entirely for displaying file data. Just as unsurprising is the fact that all of the app's features can be neatly accessed from the basic menu bar.

Head over to the Settings menu bar section, and you're bound to discover some of the app's most useful features. Not only does this application provides you with the possibility of changing the fonts, but you can also configure almost every aspect you can think of, even though, we have to stay, the manner in which you can do that is a bit pragmatic.

By accessing the configuration file, you're allowed to tweak vast numbers of aspects, for both functionality and overall user-experience.

For example, you can choose from multiple color schemes (black, white, amber, red, green, blue, cyan, mono, and even inverse), as well as enable or disable various features such as the usage of 3D controls, autosave, the usage of hard tabs, the search string type, and the window's height and width, just to name a few of them.

Please note that the configuration file must be saved and the application must be restarted afterward for the changes to take effect.

Users looking for information regarding the basic key mappings and how to change them, as well as about installation on other Unix-based OSes should turn to the well-documented readme file from the app's home folder.

It may be an oldschool app, but this little application might still come in handy to users who are looking for a more versatile and configurable text development environment.
