• Regions and Emacs-like kill ring

• Incremental search

• Keyboard macros

• Editing binary files

• Multiple windows and views

• Compose function for Latin 1 characters

editorconfig-checker is a lint tool to verify that a project matches the specifications in {.editorconfig

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.

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.

A Kakoune / Neovim inspired editor, written in Rust.

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.

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.

GNU Moe is a powerful-but-simple-to-use text editor. It works in a modeless manner, and features an intuitive set of key-bindings that assign a degree of severity to each key; for example, key combinations with the Alt key are for harmless commands like cursor movements while combinations with the Control key are for commands that will modify the text. Moe features multiple windows, unlimited undo/redo, unlimited line length, global search and replace, and more.
