Plugins¶
The Modular Text Editor ships with a set of first-party plugins. Each is an independent component that adds a self-contained feature, and each can be enabled or disabled without affecting the rest of the editor.
Managing plugins¶
- Open Preferences ▸ Plugins to see every installed plugin — including ones that are disabled or built against a different API version.
- Enabling or disabling a plugin takes effect on the next launch. The editor never loads or unloads plugin code while running.
- If something goes wrong, you can start the editor in safe mode with plugins disabled.
Search & navigation¶
- Find and Replace — find/replace with whole-word, case, and regex options.
- Find in Files — search a folder and jump to each match.
- Incremental Search — search as you type.
- Mark — highlight every occurrence of a term.
- Bookmarks — toggle line bookmarks and jump between them.
Editing¶
- Convert Case — change letter case of the selection.
- Comment — comment/uncomment lines using the language's syntax.
- Indentation — increase/decrease indent; tabs vs spaces.
- EOL Conversion — convert line endings (CRLF/LF/CR).
- Lines — sort, reverse, deduplicate, move, split, join, clean up.
- Column Editor — insert text or numbers down a column.
- URL Highlighter — highlight URLs and open them.
Files & workspace¶
- Workspace — open a folder and manage its files in a panel.
- Session — restore open files, layout, and unsaved changes.
- Encoding — display and convert character encoding.
Appearance¶
- Theme Editor — create and edit syntax-colour themes.
Tools¶
- Document Statistics — live counts and reading time.
- Crash Report — review and send a report after a crash.
