What is it?
CudaText is a cross-platform text editor built with Free Pascal and the Lazarus toolkit. It is distributed as installers and binaries for several operating systems, and it can also be compiled from source.
The editor is built on a set of related Lazarus components, including ATSynEdit for the text editing widget, and it integrates Python for Lazarus so that plugins can be written in Python. The plugin API is documented separately, which makes it possible to extend the editor's behavior without modifying its core.
It suits developers and writers who want a lightweight, free editor that can be customized through plugins. Users who need to build CudaText themselves will need to fetch the listed Alexey-T and bgrabitmap dependency repositories.
