TextEditor.mcc

Build

TextEditor.mcc is a multiline string gadget for Amiga systems which offers most of the common features you can find in a typical text editor, but embedded in a MUI custom class. It is used by a wide range of well-known MUI based applications like YAM or SimpleMail as the main text editing gadget.

TextEditor.mcc is available for AmigaOS3, AmigaOS4, MorphOS and AROS.

Features

Its main features are:

  • Text can be colored (limited syntax highlighting)
  • WYSIWYG for bold, italic and underline soft styles
  • Multi-level undo & redo
  • Lines with different alignments (left, right, centered)
  • Ability to insert thick or thin separators with an optional title
  • Easy marking either using the mouse or keyboard
  • Full clipboard support, offering very fast cut & paste routines
  • Light text highlighting for e-mail based on an opening ">" character
  • Support for external spellcheckers, including type'n'spell and word guessing
  • Configurable keys, colors, cursor types, blink speed, and much more
  • Ability to have a bitmap as a background
  • Support for proportional fonts with floating word wrap, as well as antialiased fonts
  • Pixel smooth scrolling
  • Possibility to attach a horizontal- and vertical scroll bar
  • AREXX interface for scripted programming
