Nice, lean editor but lacking text search/replace so only 4 stars.

I'm not a coder, but I made constant use of Caret for various kinds of text manipulation. I needed to find a similarly powerful text editor that I can use once Chrome app support ends - and this is definitely it. I love it!

I didn't find an option that allows the editor to open inside the browser tab. It opens as a pop-up window.

I do webdevelopment on my Chromebook for years. Normal i used Caret-editor, but it's not update anymore and have not a lot of functionality, so after searching a lot of time, don't found a good alternative, so last time using VSCode (linux), but this is not ChromeOS friendly and drain my battery (linux/Crostini). Until now, trying TextEditor, and works very well. Okay it missed some functions like Format Document/Beautifying and replace text, but is a good candidate to replace my 'old' Caret-... Show more
