CotEditor 2.2.2

CotEditor is a light-weight, neat, yet powerful text editor designed for editing plain-text files such as web pages (HTML, CSS), program source codes (Python, Ruby, Perl, etc.), structured texts (Markdown, Textile, TeX, etc), or any other kind of plain-text.

[IMPORTANT] This application supports OS X 10.8 and later. The information of the compatibility field that shows 10.6.6 and later is wrong. We are now trying to fix it.

Just For Mac

The application is exactly made for OS X. CotEditor looks and behaves just as OS X applications should. It means, you already know how to use it even on the first launch. There are no complex setting files that require geek knowledge, so that you can access all your settings including syntax definitions and themes from a normal preferences window.

Quick, Easy, and Powerful

CotEditor launches so quick that you can write your text immediately when you want to. It`s perfect for you to write a draft version of your document or a scratch code. The simple organized user interface doesn`t disturb your task. However, at the same time, CotEditor is neither a software only for beginners nor a typical minimal “zen-style” editor. It is fully customizable. There are, of course, syntax highlighting feature for various languages, find and replace with regular expression, auto-indentation, command-line tool, and lots of other deep functions. You can also easily write your own macro in your favorite languages.
