A quick editor for configs and logs
Cold start under 300 ms and Sublime-familiar shortcuts, with highlighting for ten network-vendor families in the same colours as SheepTerm.
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.
