Features

[edit]

Crimson Editor features Windows shell integration, tabbed document interface, syntax highlighting, multiple undo/redo, column mode editing, bracket matching, auto-indentation, spell checking, direct editing of text files in FTP and the integration with compilers.[2][4][5] Unicode (although only for the characters within the default character set of Windows) and various newlines are supported.[6] Crimson Editor also supports the use of macros. The built-in calculator can evaluate simple expressions.[7] Basic mathematics functions, and date functions are also available. Column mode allows rectangular text interactions.[3][8]

Reception

[edit]

Crimson Editor has been well received.[4][7][5][9]: 88  It has been highlighted that it has a good set of features, syntax-highlighting for many formats, and includes integrated FTP. However, there are some memory issues with several (full-project) files, and it sometimes crashes.[3]
