Very solid text editor with a lot of themes. Only giving it 4 stars because of the feature which lets you write multiple lines at one with Ctrl+Up/Down; that tends to get annoying very quickly.

The best available natively for ChromeOS. Was using Kate through a flatpak in Crostini, and it's nice to have something comparable that runs out of the box.

I don't know why, but after a recent update to Chrome OS, this app disappeared from my Lenovo Chromebook. Argh! So glad to find it hasn't been killed off. It's my ASCII text editor of choice for Chrome OS.

I like the editing capability. But how do I print without the line numbers down the side?

thank you very much for providing this wonderful app. i've just installed it today and it worked great by now. still, i'm usually finding problems, and it would be great to allow reporting them, as github issues or any user group etc. probably due to my ignorance, caret marked some of my legitimate code as errors: 'use strict' and spread syntax ...ident_ifier, which come from es6. one more error marked code: removing the async hides the error marker. exports.up = async (knex) => { }; e...
