Monkey Studio

There are tons of lines of code behind applications you use on a daily basis, or web pages you land on. Multiple programming languages make all this happen, and it is up to specialized programs like Monkey Studio to help you write down the code, analyze it, in a powerful environment.

The visual design may feel a little overwhelming at first, but this is only because of the variety of features you get to work with. On the other hand, the general structure is well organized, with menus accessible one at a time, but there’s also the option to remove docks to keep toolboxes in floating windows.

File support is pretty impressive. You’re able to load existing projects such as C++, bash, batch, CSS, DEF, DIFF, HTML, Javascript, LUA, PHP, POV, Perl, Python, QT, Ruby, TeX, SQL, and more. Saving can be done under the same format so you can later on build them with the compiler of your choice.

The edit pad is fitted with all view options for proper code editing. Line numbering makes it easy to identify code, with syntax highlighter supported for all languages, with the possibility to also configure colors. Search and replace can be used to fix specific bits of text, and you can also directly jump to a line of interest.

There’s a lot more than meets the eye, with the application packing an abundance of different plugins for you to use. Not all of them are enabled by default, and you can easily select them from a menu, with options for AStyle formatter, debug view, Api file generator, class browser, file watcher, message box, MkS Shell, project headers, QT assistance, beaver debugger, PHP tools, Python, and more.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Monkey Studio is a powerful development environment which is sure to help you build your projects, regardless of the programming language you prefer. An abundance of plugins make it easy to track, and manage code, while view, and edit options make the whole experience worthwhile.
