More About Runestone Text Editor
A plain text editor with advanced features is available for iPhone and iPad users. This app, called Runestone, is designed to be lightweight and efficient while still providing essential tools for editing code. It offers syntax highlighting, line numbers, search and replace, a page guide, and more. It's similar to TextEdit, but with added power and optimization for iOS devices.
Runestone was created by a single developer who has a passion for text editors and a goal of creating the best possible option for iPhone and iPad users. The app is constantly evolving and improving, with the developer's vision in mind.
The app boasts a variety of features, including syntax highlighting for multiple languages such as HTML, JavaScript, and Python. Users can also choose from twelve different themes, including popular ones like Tomorrow and Solarized. The find and replace function allows for easy text modification while still viewing the file. Users can also customize the font and font size, and even import custom fonts from other apps.
Runestone also offers convenient tools such as the ability to view the cursor's location, navigate to a specific line, and automatically close brackets and quotes. On the iPad, users can have multiple windows open at once. The app also supports Prettier.js for formatting code in languages like CSS and PHP.
Premium features are available for purchase, including the option to choose from eight different app icons and show line numbers. Users can also adjust line height and letter spacing, disable line wrapping, and add vertical and horizontal overscroll. The app also allows for customization of tab and space symbols, as well as the option to enable a page guide for long lines. Users can also save file extensions and filenames for plain text files, and adjust settings for tabs and indentation.
Runestone was built on an open-source framework of the same name, which can be found on GitHub. This framework allows for continuous improvement and development of the app, ensuring that it remains a top choice for text editing on iOS devices.
