CotEditor

What's New on CotEditor 3.6.10

release:

New Features

  • Add syntax style for “Kotlin”.

Improvements

  • Move focus to the editor when lines are selected by clicking line numbers.
  • Apply update of “Line numbers”, “Page guide” and “invisible characters” visibility options in the preferences immediately to opened documents.
  • Suppress the dialog asking if you want to keep the document when an unsaved empty document is about to close, and silently discard the auto-saved backup file.
  • Change the label of the option “Count each line ending as one character” in General pane to “Ignore line endings when counting characters” (the value reversed).
  • Enable the “Share” button in toolbar also in the Text Only mode.
  • Display also mapping conflicts of interpreters in the syntax style file mapping conflict dialog.
  • Make composition views for the Share feature document-modal also in macOS 10.12.
