Scratchpad For Linux

Scratchpad project is a spatial text editor for the GNOME desktop.

Scratchpad is a text and source code editor for the GNOME desktop (written with Mono), featuring a unique spatial interface. It is targeted at developers and users looking for a no-fuss editor that "just works".

Here are some key features of "Scratchpad":

· Syntax highlighting, auto indentation and other essential features as provided by the GtkSourceView library. · A totally spatial interface. All state is persistant on a per-document basis and only one window for each document can exist at any time. · Automatic and transparent saving will never bother you with · "save confirmation" dialogs. What you see is what you get. · A revisioning system allows to tag a snapshot of the document at any time, browse the available revisions and restore them. · Integrated type-ahead search. · Block (un-)indenting by selecting multiple lines of text.

Requirements:

· Gtk+2 · GtkSourceView · GnomeVFS · gconf · dbus and Mono including CLI bindings for all the libraries.

What's New in This Release:

New Features: · Complete port/rewrite to Vala, Scratchpad now runs (flys) natively! · Tag-based replace mechanism. · Use GUniqueApp for single instance behaviour, so startup notification · and focus stealing should work better now.

Removed Features: · No more GnomeVFS, waiting for GVFS! · Revisions. Wasn't happy with them, to be reconsidered. · Autosave and save options. Now defaults to save on focus out (saving · your laptop batteries). · Tools menu.

Bugfixes: · It's practically a rewrite, so all bugs should be brand new! · Icon sucks less.

Known Problems: · Font changes won't take effect immediately.
