Summary

UPDATE 10.12.2014:

I have created a fork of the Caret editor that includes advanced Tern integration (more advanced than this editor). The editor is called Caret-T: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/caret-t/agiednhnlghobdgpgfdnbdaflnngmoij

Caret-T is superior to this app in every way for Javascript Editing, but not quite as good for CSS/HTML.


Simple code editor that is built on top of Text (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/text/mmfbcljfglbokpmkimbfghdkjmjhdgbg).

Features:

  • Code Folding (Alt+0 - collapse all; Alt+Shift+0 - expand all)
  • Code Formatting for XML,HTML,Javascript, and CSS (Click broom icon)

nice addition to the original text app. but when i put it in the dark theme, i cant see the text through the highlighter. light theme is bad for my eyes so i cant use this app because of that small bug :/
