It consists of a menu (GUI -version only), editor view, and statusbar. There is also a find & replace pane -and a command entry, but Textadept initially hides them both. The manual briefly -describes these features below, but provides more details later. - -## Menu - -The completely customizable menu provides access to all of Textadept's features. -Only the GUI version implements it, though. The terminal version furnishes the -[command selection][] dialog instead. Textadept is very keyboard-driven and -assigns key shortcuts to most menu items. Your [key preferences][] can change -these shortcuts and reflect in the menu. Here is a [complete list][] of default -key bindings. - -[command selection]: 10_Advanced.html#Command.Selection -[key preferences]: 08_Preferences.html#Key.Bindings -[complete list]: api/textadept.keys.html#Key.Bindings - -## Tab Bar - -The tab bar displays all of Textadept's open buffers, although it's only visible -when two or more buffers are open. While only the GUI version supports tabs, -Textadept's [buffer browser][] is always available and far more powerful. - -[buffer browser]: 04_WorkingWithFiles.html#Buffers - -## Editor View - -Most of your time spent with Textadept is in the editor view. Both the GUI -version and the terminal version feature unlimited vertical and horizontal view -splitting. Lua also has complete control over all views. - -## Find & Replace Pane - -This compact pane is a great way to slice and dice through your document or a -directory of files. It even supports finding and replacing text using Lua -patterns and Lua code. The pane is available only when you need it and quickly -gets out of your way when you do not, minimizing distractions. - -## Command Entry - -The versatile command entry functions as, among other things, a place to execute -Lua commands with Textadept's internal Lua state, find text incrementally, and -execute shell commands. Lua extensions allow it to do even more. Like the Find & -Replace pane, the command entry pops in and out as you wish. - -## Statusbar - -The statusbar actually consists of two statusbars. The one on the left-hand -side displays temporary status messages while the one on the right-hand side -persistently shows the current buffer status. |
