Remove ads

Textadept is a free software minimalist text editor designed for computer programming. Distributed under the MIT license, it is written in C, C++ and Lua and is extensible using Lua.[1] Textadept can use either a graphical user interface or a text-based user interface when running in a terminal window. Textadept uses the Scintilla editing component. Textadept's developer makes the curses wrapper library for Scintilla used by Textadept available separately.[2]

Similar to Emacs, Textadept is deeply extensible; the Lua API has access to any subsystem of the program. Despite this, the developer states that one of his goals is for the C portion to not exceed 2000 lines of code and for the Lua portion to never exceed 4000 lines. When running in a graphical interface Textadept purposely does not save window size or position, leaving this up to the window manager.
