Can I open a whole folder in TextEditor++?
Yes. Open a folder and it appears in the Explorer sidebar on the left of the window. Click any file to open it in a tab.
EVERYDAY EDITING ON MAC
TextEditor++ keeps a whole project or log folder one click away, suggests words you have already written, and marks every line you changed, so you always know where you are and what is still unsaved.
Suggestions come from the words already in your document, such as names, identifiers and terms you have typed before. They are worked out on your Mac; nothing is sent anywhere.
A bar next to the line numbers marks every line you have edited: orange while the change is unsaved, green once it is saved. They work on every tab, including new notes you have not saved yet. In a Git repository, the lines you’ve added, changed or removed compared with Git are marked as well.
