Textworker (Tkinter)

A simple and cross-platform Python text editor.

This repository has been moved to GitLab.

Expected new features:

• About window (but the contents seem not to be shown - wthell??)

• New auto-save implementation like the wip/wx branch - but it auto show on editor init (#1)

• New Find & Replace dialog - not usable right now

• An Editor class which embeds auto-save support by default

• Update libtextworker to 0.1.4 with fixes and new features

• Directory tree

These features will not here (comparing with wx builds):

• Markdown preview

• Preferences & Updater dialogs

Features

• Lightweight

• Run some tasks with Command Window (removed on version 1.5a0)

• Customizable interface

• Auto save

• Multiple languages

See all app releases here.

You can get wheels from GitHub actions.
