Description

The FTE Text Editor is a powerful, yet very easy and intuitive to use text editor for programmers. In fact, its features virtually make it a complete IDE. It is small and fast. Among many other things, it supports syntax highlighting and syntax-aware autoindenting for many languages, parenthesis matching, parsing of compiler output and folds. Most of its features are configurable, including user-definable syntax highlighting through a configurable state machine. This port is based on a CVS snapshot, which includes Subversion support in addition to CVS. Only the X11 version of FTE (xfte) is currently functional.
