Lines

Lines is a modern text editor and integrated development environment designed for developers working on web and mobile projects. It supports syntax highlighting for over 150 programming languages and offers a minimalist interface focused on productivity. The tool is available as freeware and is intended for both web and mobile platforms.

Among its features, Lines provides column selection, multi-caret editing, a code outline with filtering, and a project explorer. It includes autocomplete, an advanced color picker, themes, and a responsive web browser. Users can run a web server, use file templates, and benefit from integrated web browser tools based on WebKit with developer tools. The editor also supports custom project-based commands for external tools, a single-window mode without tabs or panels, and a command button (F1) to show open documents. Code commenting and uncommenting can be toggled with a shortcut, and folders can be opened as projects from the context or main menu.

Lines enables running and debugging JavaScript and Node code interactively. It features regular expression support for find and replace, large file loading and editing, and automatic color scheme matching to the UI theme. The start page displays recent projects and files, and the platform can auto-refresh a mobile simulator or browser upon file save. Users can open multiple projects in separate windows, beautify code, remove or merge empty lines, and work with Unix or Windows line endings. Additional tools include custom file templates, custom text snippets, document cloning, right-click shell integration on Windows, and a TODO panel for tracking tasks. The editor supports any monospaced font and displays method or function arguments in the outline panel.

Lines is freeware and is developed by CreatixBiH. Its broad language support and range of features make it suitable for developers seeking a lightweight yet capable code editor for diverse programming tasks.
