skylark

skylark aims to be a flexible text/hex editor. It's got the portability perk attached to it, which makes things interesting right from the start. It's also advertised as snappy fast, being written in C.

For those who are still in doubt, the app makes it clear that it was designed to work for advanced users who deal with the likes of SQL files and Lua scripts. Even if you can still write your shopping list in it, you'll be defeating the purpose for which this app was built in mind.

For those in need of such a tool, the list of functions is extensive. Firstly, you should know that a file manager and SFTP remote manager have been built within this application's code. Since you'll be dealing with binary and hex-editing capabilities, it only makes sense for the program to include a viewer for these sorts of files. Encryption/decryption of common key algorithms is possible if you're dealing with such elements.

skylark works with syntax highlight for a plethora of languages, as is the case for supported encoding types. Probably the least of the interesting functions deal with support for clang format and the inclusion of a dark mode. These are useful, but compared to the other, more sophisticated functions, they seem like general-type functions.

The program's interface is friendly. It's split into three parts. The left deals with the path of whatever files you're currently looking at. The central area deals with various scripts and codes. It's the text editor area and the most important aspect of this program.

In the settings drop-down menu, you'll be able to adjust the colors used for various elements in the codes you'll be using. Your scripts will be clearer since each particular component will be better defined. You'll also be able to adjust and detect errors easily. skylark is one of the more sophisticated text/hex editors. Its functions should be above satisfactory level for any individual out there.
