| 2024-08-14 |  | | en | Works great for my use cases. |
| 2024-02-21 |  | | en | A bit better than Sight in a way that it opens all files no matter which extension is there. But you can't enforce syntax, nor use all fonts (some of them just plain doesn't work on Mac, even though they are installed - Source Code Pro for instance). But, it is still better, so I am going to use this :D so thank you for this plugin. |

| 2023-09-26 |  | | This extension is excellent for my needs which often involve having a quick look at .diff files on the web. Something that has been annoying me is that if you double click on some code to copy it everything is selected and it all becomes white and I need to click the left hand side with the line numbers in order to restore the highlighting. Turns out that you can turn that off by going to the Syntaxtic extension options and changing quickCode from Enabled to Disabled. Thanks for this. | |

| 2020-03-05 |  | | Cool. Would be nice the ability to add user extension to be opened as simple text. This would help to read plain text files like for instance ".conf" without downloading on local disk | |
