Negative Space: text editors
- Edit (Zsh)
- One of the first scripts in the book is a script to edit scripts. But that elicits a bootstrapping problem. Without the edit script, you can’t use the edit script to edit the edit script!
- Must-have iOS app: Editorial
-
Editorial stands out among Markdown editors by being far more flexible and at the same time easier to use.
- Renumber selected lines of text
-
This very short script renumbers lines of text and normalizes on a single tab/space combination in front of each number.
- Smultron text editor
- Peter Borg’s new open source text editor features tabbed windows, split views, remembering multiple open files, and dividing files into projects.
