Caret

Caret is a serious, graphical programmer's editor running as a Chrome Packaged App. Inspired by Sublime and built on top of the Ace editing component, it will offer:

  • Tabbed multi-document editing
  • Multiple selections with Sublime-like keystrokes
  • Retained file handles (you can close and re-open it without disrupting your setup)
  • Editor themes and syntax highlighting
  • Smart Go To and Command Palette
  • Hackable settings stored in JSON and synchronized through Chrome

It's not there yet, but we'll be there soon. The ultimate goal of Caret is to fill a gap that currently stymies web developers working on Chrome OS, offering a pleasant graphical editing environment without needing to run a second windowing system via Crouton.
