Description

Kodex is an advanced code editor which brings powerful and desktop-class editor features to your iPad or iPhone:

* Multi-caret editing, to quickly transform code selections.
* Regex search and replace, with template matching and replace-all-matches.
* Minimap which allows quick scroll navigation though the document.
* Multiple window support
* Syntax highlighting for over 150 languages.
* Trackpad support with custom gestures to add cursors (ctrl+shift+click).
* Auto complete feature (currently only for HTML).
* Add as many guide columns as you wish (default 80 and 120 characters).
* Configurable tab size (default 4 spaces), or insert spaces when pressing tab.
* Draw hints for invisible characters such as new lines, tabs, and spaces.
* Customizable key bindings, so you can configure Kodex to use the same key combos you are already used to.
* Kodex smartly preserves your open documents so that your work stays as you left it between launches.
* Light and Dark modes.

Kodex is integrated with the Files app, so you can easily open files from any other app, and from your iCloud documents folder.

You can launch Kodex QuickEdit from any file sharing view in any app to edit its contents without launching the main Kodex App (be aware this functionality depends on the host app implementing the sharing activity properly).

Included are 10 editor themes, and several monospaced fonts for code editing (you can install your own preferred fonts using system profiles). Font size and line spacing are adjustable, so you can configure Kodex to best fit your preferred screen size, arrangement, and orientation.

Kodex is not a compiler, and you can not build or run the code you edit from it. Think of Kodex as a NotePad++ or Sublime Text substitute for iPhone and iPad.

Kodex is currently optimized for external keyboards, such as Apple's Smart Keyboard for the iPad Pro, or any bluetooth/USB keyboard. More virtual keyboard features will be added in a future version.

Almost perfect

The “replace” function, does not quite work for me, the second text field is overlapped by other UI elements on my iPad Pro 2020 11” :(

Best Coding App

So when i first got this app i got it with maybe six or seven other apps that was the same thing (text editor/coding). My plan was to find the best one and then use that one. There were two that caught my eye but this one was just the overall winner. This is super helpful simple and easy to use. I am not one to write reviews at all. In fact this is probably one of my first reviews on the app store. I decided to leave a review because i loved the app and don’t want it to ever go out of support and want to thank the developers of this app for making it as it helps not only me but everyone else who downloads it. Thank you so much for this app and i’m sure others love it to. <3

Wow

I downloaded this app thinking it would be a subpar app like the other free apps but this one has blown me away. I use it on my iPad Pro with an external keyboard and it works so smoothly. My files are stored on a remote server but it seamlessly connects and saves as if it were a local file. The syntax highlighting works for what I need. If it had autocomplete for more languages it would be incredible, but you can’t ask of the world from a free app that currently has no ads at all. I strongly recommend this app if people are looking for a free alternative. Keep up the amazing work!
