Caret is a graphical text editor modeled on Sublime Text, running completely offline (no Internet connection required) and capable of opening and saving files anywhere on your hard drive. The goal of Caret is to provide a missing portion of the Chrome OS developer story: serious programmer tooling without needing to install a second OS and learn Vim.
Current features:
Help documentation is available at the GitHub wiki, including a list of possible keyboard/menu commands: https://github.com/thomaswilburn/Caret/wiki

WHAT'S NEW:
1.8.24: Added French translation (thanks, Jérôme). Added Croatian and updated German translations (thanks to milotype). Added TSX to the language modes (thanks, Nathan).
1.8.21: Updated Ace to the newest build. Added support for FSharp files. Added the e-mail MIME type to the manifest. Updated the Swedish translation (Thanks, Rasmus!).
1.8.20: Updated Ace to the newest version, added support for OpenHab and Salesforce syntax. Added an option to set the line height in the editor.
1.8.19: Removed Lucene syntax, which was causing hard locks for some reason. If this affects you, I'd love to have help figuring out the problem.
1.8.17: Lots of fixes for the project view and tabs (thanks to Alistair and Joel!)
1.8.13: Caret will now switch to the existing tab if you try to open a file twice, instead of opening it in a second tab and then creating a black hole that swallows your neighborhood.
1.8.11: Add Fortran support, and nag people who override the browser default for "monospace" with a variable-width font.
1.8.9: Fix a new bug with printing documents in newer versions of Chrome.
1.8.8: New Ace release
1.8.6: Caret will now detect non-monospaced font family settings (which are not, and have never been, supported in the editor) and warn you about them. If you get a false positive (i.e., you set a monospace font and it complained about it) please let me know so I can update the test accordingly.
1.8.4: Added a preference for when to show update notifications - "background", "launch", or "silent". Thanks, Simon!
1.8.2: Added an Italian translation (Thanks, Mattia!)
1.8.1: The hits keep coming with this minor release, which adds the long-awaited ability to define some options on a per-syntax basis. It's limited at this time to the subset of settings that Ace keeps with editor sessions, but that's enough to support different indentation between say, Python and JS. See the default user preferences for more details!
1.7.2: Large behind-the-scenes rewrite based on new browser APIs. More details in the changelog. This update may introduce bugs, so please let me know if anything is broken. Also, you will need to update to at least Chrome 55 for this version to work. That's a year old, so it's probably overdue.
Please file any bugs you find at our GitHub repo!
