✨ NAME ✨

io.elementary.code — the text editor that works for you 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

io.elementary.code [OPTION...] [FILE...]

literally that's it. options first, files after. slay.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Code is the text editor that works for you, no cap. It auto-saves your files, meaning they're always up-to-date — like, you never have to smash Ctrl+S ever again, it just handles it. Plus it remembers your tabs, so you never lose your spot, even in between sessions. bestie behavior fr fr 💖

Make it yours. Code is written from the ground up to be extensible. Keep things super lightweight and simple, or install extensions to turn Code into a full-blown IDE — it's your choice, main character. And with a handful of useful preferences, you can tweak the behavior and the interface to your exact liking ✨

It's elementary. Code is made to be the perfect text editor for elementary OS, meaning it closely follows the high standards of design, speed, and consistency. It's sexy, but not distracting. 😌 the vibe check passes.

Works with your language. Whether you're crafting code in Vala, scripting with PHP, or marking things up in HTML, Code has you covered 🫶 Experience full syntax highlighting with nearly all programming, scripting, and markup languages. ate and left no crumbs 💅
