Total Offline Functionality: Runs locally without requiring an internet connection, keeping data strictly inside your browser.
Sublime-Style UX: Features a complete Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P), fuzzy search, and “Go To Anything” smart navigation.
Multiple Cursors: Supports multiple selections and simultaneous multi-line editing using standard hotkeys.
Ace Editing Engine: Leverages Mozilla’s Ace code editor component to deliver syntax highlighting for hundreds of languages and rich custom themes (e.g., Twilight, Monokai, Xcode).
Hackable Configuration: Settings, keyboard shortcuts, and project structures are stored entirely in user-editable JSON files. Structural Overview
