Text Editor Extension

Text Editor is a full-featured text & code editor add-on for your browser.

This add-on has plenty of options to adjust and is built on top of the famous CodeMirror open-source JavaScript library (https://codemirror.net/). Once you open the add-on for the first time, you will see a sidebar at the left and an empty text editor at the right. The left sidebar includes file I/O buttons. For example, a button to open file(s) or settings. There is also a right sidebar that includes all the options for this app.

Note 1: This extension uses the new file system access API (https://web.dev/file-system-access/) to open and save files to disk. But, if your browser does not support this new API, it uses the - downloads - API instead to save files to disk in the default download folder (asks for downloads permission when opening the interface).

Note 2: Currently, Text Editor supports three key-maps for famous text editors (i.e. sublime). Moreover, it supports more than 100 coding languages (i.e. JavaScript, CSS, HTML, etc.)

If you have a feature request or found a bug to report, please fill the bug report form in the add-on's homepage (https://mybrowseraddon.com/text-editor.html).

息子運命 (ID: 00000039af6951a1) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/13/2023 How about native terminal from OS that Chrome browser was installed?, since looking for an alternative for VS Code, but can run offline on Chrome Extension

Skeletial (ID: 0000007c61696e5e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/09/2023 Amazing extension if you want to get some work done on a chromebook. A lot of times I'm sitting in study hall, bored and wasting time, but then I open this up and I'm able to easily get some work done on my websites. Although the real reason I gave it five stars was because the matrix theme is better than any other theme that any other text editor provides. One tiny suggestion I have is the option to toggle between the bigger button gui and the old one, but other than that, I would give this 6 stars if I could!

Christophe Hollebeke (ID: 000000e22f823b89) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 02/16/2023 I do webdevelopment on my Chromebook for years. Normal i used Caret-editor, but it's not update anymore and have not a lot of functionality, so after searching a lot of time, don't found a good alternative, so last time using VSCode (linux), but this is not ChromeOS friendly and drain my battery (linux/Crostini). Until now, trying TextEditor, and works very well. Okay it missed some functions like Format Document/Beautifying and replace text, but is a good candidate to replace my 'old' Caret-editor and works nicely in ChromeOS. There only a few IDE's on ChromeOS, and the most are outdated or have a lot of bugs, TextEditor is at this moment my favorite. Hope see more functions in the future. Very good work! I like it :-)
