Text Editor Apps and Alternatives

10 applications in this hubLast updated: Mar 19th 2024, 13:28 GMT

Text editors are applications that will enable computer users to easily and quickly modify the contents of any plain text file. Mac OS X comes with its own default text editor: TextEdit.

Third-party text editing apps will usually provide more advanced functions than the default Mac OS X one, and should also come with support for more file formats.

For instance, they should also allow their users to modify configuration files or edit programming language source code with syntax highlighting.
