TexMaker
TexMaker is a free LaTeX editor, written in C++, with the Qt library. I have chosen it because it's light and useful. It lacks some features I need, though. Therefore I decided to add them by myself (although I'm not an expert in C++).
The most recent version
The most recent version I have worked on is 1.7.1-1. You can get the sources here.
Implemented features
The following features have been implemented:
- Inserted text keeps indentation level.
Development focus
Currently my development focus on the following features:
- Abbreviations. After typing an abbreviation and pressing the TAB key, the typed abbreviation is replaced with predefined full text. For example, after typing "\li" ("li" stands for "list - items") this text will be replaced with the following one:
\list{itemize}
\item
\end{itemize}
Planned features
I'm also planning the following features:
- After the text in the current line in the editor reaches some predefined column, it will be automatically split into the next line. It should work similar to the ":set tw=<some number>" option known from the excellent Vim editor.
- Current line highlighting colour should've been available to choose.
- The "close the tab" button should be placed on the tab, instead of the toolbar.
