Fewer keystrokes. Less hunting.

Edit many lines at once

• Multiple cursors: add a caret above or below, select the next occurrence, skip one, or select them all.
• Split a selection into one cursor per line, or select a column with Option-drag.
• Grow a selection to the surrounding word, brackets, line, indented block or code structure, and shrink it back.
• Undo and redo selections as well as edits.

Get anywhere in a few keystrokes

• Goto Anything (⌘P) opens any file, symbol or line. Type @ for a symbol, : for a line or # for a word.
• The Command Palette (⇧⌘P) finds any command by name, with its shortcut beside it.
• Go back and forward through the places you have visited, and reopen tabs you closed.
• Breadcrumbs and sticky headers show where you are in long files.
• ⌘-click a link or a file path to open it.

Focus on the words

• Spelling is checked as you type in prose, with suggestions, and left alone in code and logs.
• Distraction-free mode hides everything except your text.
• Each language can have its own indentation, rulers and other settings, and you can choose which language a file opens as.
• Your place in each file, along with folds and selections, is remembered.
• Choose a colour scheme, or import one from another editor.

Work the way you’re used to

• An optional Vim mode for modal editing.
• Optional shortcut sets with keyboard layouts familiar from other popular editors. You see every change before it is applied, and one click brings back the Mac defaults.
• Every shortcut can be changed in Keyboard Settings.

Every character, understood

• Open and save 33 more text encodings, including Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Cyrillic.
• Characters that can’t be saved in an encoding are shown before anything is written, so nothing is lost by surprise.
• The Character Inspector shows the code point, name, script and bytes of any character, including emoji and invisible ones.
