coteditor/CotEditor 4.2.0

on GitHub

system requirements: macOS 11 and later

New Features

• Ability to handle documents holding multiple types of line endings.
• Alert inconsistent line endings in the document when opening or reloading.
• List up the inconsistent line endings in the Warnings pane in the inspector.
• Minor line endings, namely NEL (New Line), LS (Line Separator), and PS (Paragraph Separator), are added to the line endings options (These items are visible only either when pressing the Option key or when the document's line ending is one of these).
• Add the hidden Paste Exactly command (Command-Option-V) that pastes text in the clipboard without any modification, such as adjusting line endings to the document setting.
• Add an option Selection to the Pages section in the Print dialog to print only the selected text in the document.
• Add history to the Unicode code point input.
• Support Handoff.
• Export setting files, such as themes or multiple replacements, to the Finder just by dropping the setting name from the Preferences.
• Transfer settings among CotEditors in different machines via Universal Control by dragging the setting name and dropping it to the setting list area in another CotEditor.
