CotEditor

Highlights on CotEditor 4.3

Say good-bay to the rainbow cursor
CotEditor 4.3 improves the performance of syntax highlighting and file opening drastically. For example, the procedure that required a 2-minute rainbow cursor finishes now just in one second. Now you can open files of more than 100 MB in CotEditor without hesitation.
Search incrementally
The incremental search has come. The Find window starts highlighting the matches in the frontmost document as you type.
