<h2>Features</h2>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: center">
Textadept is a fast, minimalist, and remarkably extensible cross-platform text editor.
</p>
</div>
<div class="left-col">
<h3>Fast and Minimalist</h3>
<p>
Textadept’s user interface is sleek and simple. Relentlessly optimized for
speed and minimalism over the years, the editor consists of less than 2000 lines
of C code and less than 4000 lines of <a href="https://lua.org">Lua</a> code.
</p>
<p class="center"><img src="images/textadept.png" alt="Textadept" /></p>
</div>
<div class="right-col">
<h3>Cross Platform</h3>
<p>
Textadept runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, and BSD. It also has a terminal version,
which is ideal for work on remote machines.
</p>
<p class="center">

</p>
<p class="center">
<img src="images/win32.png" alt="Win32" />
<img src="images/ncurses.png" alt="curses" />
</p>
</div>
<div class="clear-col"></div>
<div class="left-col">
<h3>Remarkably Extensible</h3>
<p>
Textadept is an ideal editor for programmers who want endless extensibility
without sacrificing speed or succumbing to code bloat and featuritis. The editor
gives you complete control over the entire application using the Lua programming
language. Everything from moving the caret to changing menus and key bindings
on-the-fly to handling core events is possible. Its potential is vast.
</p>
</div>
<div class="right-col">
<h3>Multiple Language Support</h3>
<p>
Being a programmer’s editor, Textadept excels at editing source code. It
understands the syntax and structure of more than 100 different programming languages
and recognizes hundreds of file types. Textadept uses this knowledge to make viewing
and editing code faster and easier. It can also compile and run simple source files.
</p>
</div>
<div class="clear-col"></div>
<div class="left-col">
<h3>Unlimited Split Views</h3>
<p>
Both the graphical version and the terminal version of Textadept support unlimited
vertical and horizontal view splitting, even of the same file.
</p>
<p class="center"><img src="images/splitviews.png" alt="Split Views" /></p>
</div>
<div class="right-col">
<h3>Customizable Themes</h3>
<p>
Textadept uses themes to customize its look and feel. It comes with built-in light,
dark, and terminal themes.
</p>
<p class="center">
<img src="images/lighttheme.png" alt="Light Theme" />
<img src="images/darktheme.png" alt="Dark Theme" />
</p>
<p class="center"><img src="images/termtheme.png" alt="Term Theme" /></p>
</div>
<div class="clear-col"></div>
<div class="left-col">
<h3>Code Autocompletion</h3>
<p>
Not only can Textadept autocomplete words in files, but it can also autocomplete
symbols for programming languages and display API documentation.
</p>

<img src="images/adeptsense_lua.png" alt="Adeptsense Lua" />
<img src="images/adeptsense_string.png" alt="Adeptsense Lua String" />
</p>
</div>
<div class="right-col">
<h3>Keyboard Driven</h3>
<p>
Textadept can be entirely keyboard driven. The editor defines key bindings for nearly
every action. You can easily reassign existing bindings or create new ones. Keys
may be chained together or grouped into language-specific keys or key modes.
</p>
<h3>Self Contained</h3>
<p>
Textadept’s binary packages are self-contained and need not be installed. No
administrator privilages are required either.
</p>
</div>
<div class="head-col"><hr /><h2>Learn More</h2><hr /></div>
<div class="left-col">
<h3>Comprehensive Manual</h3>
<p>
Textadept comes with a comprehensive <a href="manual.html">user manual</a> in the
application’s <em>docs/</em> directory. It covers all of Textadept’s
main features, including installation, usage, configuration, theming, scripting,
and compilation.
</p>
</div>
<div class="right-col">
<h3>Exhaustive API Documentation</h3>
<p>
Since Textadept is entirely scriptable with Lua, its API is heavily <a
href="api.html">documented</a>. This documentation is also located in <em>docs/</em>
and is the ultimate resource on scripting Textadept. (The editor’s Lua
internals also provide abundant scripting examples.)
</p>
</div>
<div class="clear-col"></div>
<div class="left-col">
<h3>Quick Reference</h3>
<p style="float: left; margin-top: 0;">
<a href="book.html">
<img src="images/quickref_small.png" alt="Cover2" style="border-width: 1px;" />
</a>
</p>
<p>
This reference contains a wealth of knowledge on how to script and configure
Textadept using Lua. It groups the editor’s rich API into a series of tasks
in a convenient and easy-to-use manner. It serves as the perfect complement to
Textadept’s Manual and API documentation.
</p>
</div>
<div class="right-col">
<h3>Try It Yourself</h3>
<p>
Learn even more about Textadept by downloading and trying
it out yourself. If you’re not completely satisfied, <a
href="https://github.com/orbitalquark/textadept/discussions">contact us</a> or e-mail
me personally (orbitalquark att triplequasar.com). You may also fork the project,
submit patches, or <a href="thanks.html#sponsors">sponsor a feature</a>. Textadept
is 100% open source.

<div class="head-col"><hr /><h2>Still Not Convinced?</h2><hr /></div>
<ul style="margin: 1em 1em 1em 2em;">
<li>
Textadept has a <a href="changelog.html">proven track record</a>, with at least
one release every 2 months for 8+ years and no signs of inactivity. Also, as an
open-source project, the editor will never fade away.
</li>
<li>
Textadept is a real cross-platform desktop application, backed by a world-class editing
engine that <a href="https://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaRelated.html">dozens</a>
of editors and IDEs have depended on for <a
href="https://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaHistory.html">over 19 years</a>.
</li>
<li>
Textadept is scriptable in a language that was <em><a
href="https://www.lua.org/history.html">carefully designed</a></em> to run
on any platform at high speed and with a minimal memory footprint. Lua is
used <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/marbux/home/where-lua-is-used"
>everywhere</a> from video games to embedded devices. It is easy to <a
href="https://www.lua.org/start.html">learn</a> too!
</li>
<li>
Textadept is very resource efficient, consuming merely 15MB of RAM at startup and
hardly any CPU while under load. Even with over 20 of its own source files open at
once, Textadept does not exceed 20MB of RAM usage and has no input lag at all.
</li>
<li>
Textadept does not rely on external packages to provide its functionality and does
not depend on a package ecosystem to thrive. The editor gives you plenty of the
tools you need out of the box.
</li>
<li>
Textadept has sensible defaults and does not expect you to spend hours customizing
it before you can start being productive.
</li>
<li>
With fewer than 30 main source files comprising roughly 6000 lines of heavily
documented code, Textadept’s internals are remarkably easy to read, understand,
keep track of, and extend to your liking.
</li>
<li>
Did you see that there is a terminal version in case you need to do work on a
remote server?
</li>
<li>
Textadept does not track you. It does not attempt to connect to the internet. <em>It
is just a text editor</em>.

purposes only.
