Tincta opens within just one second on my MacBook. There are also lots of text editing features like change the case of the selected characters (I use that a lot) and supports a wide set of text encodings (though you all should be using UTF-8 or UTF-16).īut the greatest thing about Tincta – in my opinion – is the speed. It also has great line numbering that is actually working and a browser-preview function (not built in but opens the default browser and even runs on the local server so php preview works!). Tincta has syntax coloring for almost any programming language, (though some languages seem to be a bit rudimentary but I’m sure this will improve from version to version). All your open documents are displayed in a sidebar so you can easily switch between them (which I prefer over the tab design in Kod). It is a one-window app and has a very similar design as the old Smultron, Kod (also an interesting editor but still in version 0.x) and most other modern OS X Apps. But despite being still in the 1.x version numbers it already is a very mature editor.
#Tincta for windows free#
Tincta is a new free text editor released some time this summer. So much more pleasantly surprised I was when I discovered “ Tincta“. So for me it was no longer an option to use and I had switched to TextWrangler though that never became a happy relationship. This year with the start of the App Store Smultron 4 returned as a commercial product for 5 Dollars but has lost all the things that once made it valuable, especially the all-in-one-window design but also features like split views. However after version 3 Smultron was abandoned (yet buggy) by its developer. It was easy to use, had all the important text editing features and was free. Smultron was a really Mac like text editor written in Cocoa. A long time ago everyone on the Mac was using Smultron.
