parinfer-rust-emacs is an Emacs-centric fork of parinfer-rust, itself an implementation of Shaun Lebron’s Parinfer. This builds a shared library intended to be loaded by the emacs-parinfer-rust-mode Emacs plugin, though a standalone binary is built also.

EditorConfig makes it easy to maintain the correct coding style when switching between different text editors and between different projects. The EditorConfig project maintains a file format and plugins for various text editors which allow this file format to be read and used by those editors.

juCi++ is a small IDE designed especially towards libclang with speed, stability, and ease of use in mind.

It supports autocompletion, on-the-fly warnings and errors, syntax highlighting, and integrates with Git as well as the CMake and Meson build systems.

micro is a terminal-based text editor that aims to be easy to use and intuitive, while also taking advantage of the capabilities of modern terminals.

Scintilla is a source code editing component for GTK+. It has the usual features found in text editing components, as well as some that are especially useful for editing and debugging source code; these include support for syntax styling, error indicators, code completion and call tips. Styling choices are more open than with many editors: Scintilla lets you use proportional fonts, bold and italics, multiple foreground and background colours, and multiple fonts.

dte is a portable console text editor with features like multiple buffers/tabs, syntax highlighting, customizable color scheme (including support for 24-bit true colours), kitty keyboard protocol, editorconfig support, amongst other features.

L3afpad is a GTK+ 3 text editor that emphasizes simplicity. As development focuses on keeping weight down to a minimum, only the most essential features are implemented in the editor. L3afpad is simple to use, is easily compiled, requires few libraries, and starts up quickly. L3afpad is a fork of Leafpad that uses GTK+ 3 instead of GTK+ 2.

Leafpad is a GTK+ text editor that emphasizes simplicity. As development focuses on keeping weight down to a minimum, only the most essential features are implemented in the editor. Leafpad is simple to use, is easily compiled, requires few libraries, and starts up quickly.

Mogan is a scientific structural text editor, a fork of GNU TeXmacs.

Lexilla is a library of language lexers that can be used with the Scintilla editing component.

Mg (mg) is a GNU Emacs style editor, with which it is "broadly" compatible. This is a portable version of the mg maintained by the OpenBSD team.

Kakoune is a code editor heavily inspired by Vim, as such most of its commands are similar to Vi's ones, and it shares Vi's "keystrokes as a text editing language" model. Kakoune has a strong focus on interactivity, most commands provide immediate and incremental results, while still being competitive (as in keystroke count) with Vim.

GNU TeXmacs is a text editing platform which is specialized for scientists. It is ideal for editing structured documents with different types of content. It has robust support for mathematical formulas and plots. It can also act as an interface to external mathematical programs such as R and Octave. TeXmacs is completely extensible via Guile.

Parinfer is a plugin for Kakoune, Vim, Neovim and Emacs that infers parentheses and indentation. This library can be called from other editors that can load dynamic libraries.

QEmacs (for Quick Emacs) is a very small but powerful editor. It has features that even big editors lack:

• Full screen editor with an Emacs look and feel with all Emacs common features: multi-buffer, multi-window, command mode, universal argument, keyboard macros, config file with C-like syntax, minibuffer with completion and history.

• Can edit files of hundreds of Megabytes without being slow by using a highly optimized internal representation and by mmaping the file.

• Full Unicode support, including multi charset handling (8859-x, UTF8, SJIS, EUC-JP, ...) and bidirectional editing respecting the Unicode bidi algorithm. Arabic and Indic scripts handling (in progress).

• WYSIWYG HTML/XML/CSS2 mode graphical editing. Also supports Lynx like rendering on VT100 terminals.

• WYSIWYG DocBook mode based on XML/CSS2 renderer.

• C mode: coloring with immediate update. Emacs like auto-indent.

• Shell mode: colorized VT100 emulation so that your shell work exactly as you expect. Compile mode with next/prev error.

• Input methods for most languages, including Chinese (input methods come from the Yudit editor).

• Hexadecimal editing mode with insertion and block commands. Unicode hexa editing is also supported.

• Works on any VT100 terminals without termcap. UTF8 VT100 support included with double width glyphs.

• X11 support. Support multiple proportional fonts at the same time (as XEmacs). X Input methods supported. Xft extension supported for anti aliased font display.

• Small! Full version (including HTML/XML/CSS2/DocBook rendering and all charsets): 200KB big. Basic version (without bidir/unicode scripts/input/X11/C/Shell/HTML/Dired): 49KB.

Text Pieces is a tool for quick text transformations such as checksums, encoding, decoding, etc.

The basic features of Text Pieces are:

• Base64 encoding and decoding

• SHA-1, SHA-2 and MD5 checksums

• Prettify and minify JSON

• Covert JSON to YAML and vice versa

• Count lines, symbols and words

• Escape and unescape string, URL and HTML

• Remove leading and trailing whitespaces

• Sort and reverse sort lines

• Reverse lines and whole text

• You can write your own scripts and create custom tools

This package provides a modeless text editor with menu bar. It supports syntax highlighting, regular expressions, configurable menus, keybindings, autocomplete and unlimited undo. It can pipe a marked block of text through any command line filter. It can also open very large binary files. It was originally developed on the Amiga 3000T.
