Comments and Reviews
I have been using CudaText as a code and text editor on and off for many years. The main feature I like is that there is a portable version available
This is the only editor able to restore my undo/redo even after restart, you can even make it permanent then all your changes will be saved to a folder near your file so you can undo redo for ever all what you did even after formatting the PC (just add this to the user.json "undo_persistent": "*",) , this is super cool.
It have builtin toolbar not like vscode and sublime.
You can change everything in the app, and when I say everything I mean everything, I never saw something like that, I feel identified with this app.
This may be a nice program, but there's too much obstacle course going on without seeing a prize at the goalpost. Weird they put the plug-in file as the hi-lited download at top on SourceForge. First zip in list says Amd64. I went to FossHub for download. Bosnian company. The first thing I want to do is get rid of that funky gray tone background.
I've been using for a long time many editors, including VSCodium, Geany, NotePad++, Sublime and many others... CudaText is better than all of the above, and launches in 1 second (!). Highly recommended.
I switched to CudaText for a while because I found a lot of the interface very intuitive and logical. And unlike similar style editors (your sublimes etc) it doesn't eat all the resources on my geriatric machine. And it is FLOSS which is always preferable. :)
It is developed primarily it seems by Windows users and ported to Mac OS without much/any testing so has the same problems as all non-native applications. Little things that don't quite work properly. Unfortunately little things like keyboard shortcuts not being working/configurable can really be deal breakers. Perhaps a smarter person could figure out how to get it to work, but I couldn't.
If I had to use Windows this is definitely the first text editor I would try because I'm pretty sure most of my problems were result of platform.
Cudatext is a very capable programmer's editor with great potential. There are two big problems with it though: some releases are as buggy as hell as the developer is no great fan of pre-release testing. Second, the dev too often introduces changes that are not backwards-compatible so that your super-duper setup all of sudden doesn't work anymore.
