A downloadable Text Editor for Windows

The in-universe text editor of choice in my game Hector

About OTTE:

OTTE is a basic, easy to learn text editor, with a focus on functionality in a small form factor. Instead of buttons and menus, you use simple commands to open and navigate files and folders.

Commands:

> open file (to open a file)

> open folder (to open a folder)

> qopen example.txt (to quickly open a file in the folder you're currently in)

> qback (go to the parent directory of the folder you're currently in

> save (to save the file you're working in

> updates (show the list of future updates)

> csyntax *word* *color* *fileName.txt* (set the color of a word)

> help (show available commands)

> new file *file name + filetype* (create a new file in the folder you're currently in)

> new folder *folder name* (create a new folder in the folder you're currently in)

> loadSyntax *fileName.txt* (load a saved syntax)

> listSavedSyntaxes (list all the saved syntaxes)


Future Updates:

> better ui

> more friendly command inputting

> the ability to create and load different save syntaxes

> the ability to set the background of a section of text to a different color to more easily identify sections of code

> the ability to have multiple files open at the same time

> the ability to delete files and folders

> the ability to move between tabs using the keyboard

> better colors

> hotkeys

> font customization
