Features

What it does

Also

  • Highlighting for 28 languages A pure-Swift highlighter colours a 1 MB file in milliseconds, and a keystroke re-colours only the lines it touches. Network config mode detects the vendor from the content.
  • Compare mode Side-by-side diff of two tabs, or a tab and a file. Line-level and word-level changes, moved-line detection, live update as you type, and changed blocks can be transferred between the panes.
  • Multi-cursor and folding Add the next occurrence with ⌘D, or select every one at once. Fold brace blocks from the gutter, and the folds are remembered per document.
  • MAC address conversion Convert a selected MAC between Cisco dotted, colon, hyphen, plain and Aruba formats without leaving the editor.
  • Log highlighting Timestamps dim, errors and counters stand out. Open a switch log and read it instead of searching for the problem.
