CudaText

CudaText is a cross-platform text editor written in Object Pascal, with builds listed for Linux, macOS, and Windows. It provides syntax highlighting for more than 300 languages, along with code folding, multiple carets and selections, regular-expression find and replace, and customizable hotkeys. A code tree can show functions and classes when the lexer supports them, and a fuzzy-matching command palette helps with command navigation. Its binary and hex viewer supports files of unlimited size; the site says it can display 10 GB logs. HTML and CSS tools include smart auto-completion, HTML tag completion through the Snippets plugin, and in-editor image display. Python add-ons can supply plugins, linters, code tree parsers, and external tools. Listed plugin features include LSP support, project and session managers, an FTP panel, spell checking, and formatters. Configuration files use JSON and can include lexer-specific settings. CudaText is free, with no free trial listed, and the project license is MPL-2.0.
