Klonk is a homemade text editor I made for my own enjoyment (and not really anyone else's). It has some interesting features, however:

  • An undo/redo algorithm that allows you to go back in time to any previous state with just two actions: Undo & Redo. No graphical trees and/or cryptic keystrokes.
  • Supports SSH/SFTP file transfer protocols via JSCH. This is tricky/quirky stuff but it's pretty darned secure & safe. Supports private/public key authentication for extra convenience
  • Flexible auto-indent (tabs, spaces)
  • Pretty good find/replace with regex support
  • Well-documented keyboard shortcuts instead of whispered by the chosen few
  • Simplicity. It's java so it theoretically works anywhere. OK it also uses more memory than it should.
  • Supports compile to a MS Windows executable because everybody loves Windows. Okay nobody loves Windows but it's handy for those who tolerate it.

Downsides:

  • No syntax highlighting
  • No IDE features
  • Only tested on MS Windows
  • Written by a crazy person
