TextWarrior
TextWarrior is an open source text editor that is targeted at
power users and programmers. This text editor pays particular attention
to best edit text on a touch screen. With five different ways to
navigate, there should be a way to customise text editing to your
specific preference.
Features:
- Direct touch and drag selection of text and other custom behaviors
- 5 cursor navigation methods to select:
- Basic - Tap anywhere on the text. Users can also touch
the cursor and drag it to the desired position
- Trackpad
- Yo-yo - grab the handle that dangles below the cursor and
drag it to the desired position
- Liquid - (only works with devices that have accelerometers)
- Volume keys - move the cursor left/right by pressing the
volume up/down
- Word wrap
- Search and replace. Case-sensitive and match whole
word options
- Slideable clipboard (shown in the first screenshot above)
- Syntax highlighting for C, C++, C#, Java, Javascript,
Objective-C, PHP, Python and Ruby
- Word and character count
- Long press of a hardware keyboard key can capitalize a
letter
- Auto-indent
- Visible whitespace
- Configurable tab width, text size and font
- Recent file history
- Undo/redo
- Supports ASCII, Latin-1, UTF-8 and UTF-16 encodings
- Supports different line terminator styles

- Built-in help documentation

trackpads, styli
Verdict:
TextWarrior is fairly strong in the syntax
highlighting department, but there are some notable omissions including
HTML and XML. Nevertheless, if you are looking for a programming text
editor, TextWarrior ticks most of the boxes.
