Description
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.
Just For Mac
The application is exactly made for macOS. CotEditor looks and behaves just as macOS applications should. It means, you already know how to use it even on the first launch. There are no complicated setting files that require geek knowledge so that you can access all your settings including syntax definitions and themes from a standard settings window.
Quick, Easy, and Powerful
CotEditor launches so quickly 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 simply organized user interface doesn't disturb your task. However, at the same time, CotEditor is neither software only for beginners nor a typical minimal “zen-style” editor. It is fully customizable. There are, of course, syntax highlighting for various languages, find and replace with the 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.
Key Features
• Syntax highlighting including more than 50 preset languages
• Powerful find and replace with the regular expression
• Auto-backup with/without overwriting actual document files
• Line numbers view
• Live character/word/line count
• Handling file encoding and line endings with care

• Character inspector that shows the zoomed glyph and Unicode information
• Vertical text layout mode
• Various Unicode normalizations
• Semi-transparent window
• Command-line tool
• Scriptable with your favorite language
• JCK-languages friendly

Developer Response ,
コメントありがとうございます。ご指摘を受け、CotEditor 3.6.1にて背景が暗いテーマの場合はカーソル(iビーム)の白い縁取りを強調してカーソルが埋もれづらくなるようにしました。
数MB程度のファイルでも動作が重く実用にならない
数KBしかない軽いテキストなら使えるが、数MB程度のテキストファイルでは動作が重く実用にならない。
miエディタではこのようなことはない。
Developer Response ,
CotEditor 3.2.6以降、macOS 10.13 High Sierra上では、文書末端までスクロールができなくなるシステムの不具合を回避するために意図的にテキストレンダリングを高速化する機構の使用を止めています。High Sierraの大元の不具合の解消が確認できるまでの一時的な迂回策ですが、現在はこのような次第でご迷惑をおかけしています。(追記:High Sierra での不具合が修正されたためCotEditor 3.4.0からこの迂回策を削除しました。)
