Is it conceivable to have a text editor that is simple, yet powerful? Scribes is the text editor for GNOME that is simple, slim and sleek, yet powerful.
This release features a template system popularly called snippets (see Movie). Snippets are pre-configured text you can insert into Scribes' buffer. Optionally, the text can contain placeholders you can navigate and replace at will. Snippets in combination with Scribes' automatic word completion can boost your productivity and streamline your workflow. They have the resultant effect of reducing spelling, syntax and semantic errors as well as repetitive typing that occurs too frequently during text editing. It is a testament to our efforts to continue to provide you with a fun, fluid and hassle-free experience when editing text files. What's more, Scribes makes creating and using snippets easy! See the link below for a tutorial on how easy it is to create and use snippets. Future releases will provide a way to import, export and share snippets with your loved ones. But in the meantime, you can use the Python, Java, HTML and General snippets created by downloading the template file and placing it in ~/.gnome2/scribes/ In addition to snippets, this release features a brand new spanking color editor, the ability to toggle on or off readonly mode on the fly, plenty of minor enhancements, translations for Italian, French, Russian, German and Brazillian Portuguese, many bug fixes and more polish. Scribes is the text editor for GNOME that focuses on streamlining your workflow. It does so by ensuring mundane, monotonous and repetitive operations are intelligently automated. And also by eliminating factors that prevent you from focusing on your tasks.
