What it does
Everything needed for a sharp MVP editor.
Monaco editing
Syntax highlighting, tabs, minimap support, and familiar editor behavior from day one.
Keyboard-first flow
Command palette, quick navigation, save shortcuts, and search without reaching for the mouse.
GitHub ready
Connect a GitHub account with a personal access token and keep the editor ready for repo workflows.
Tab control
Close tabs with the mouse wheel click, the close button, or command palette flow.
Clean preferences
Switch color schemes, font face, size, tab width, word wrap, and autosave in a focused panel.
Connected workflows
GitHub connection is built into Preferences.
Add a GitHub personal access token, verify the account, and keep the connection saved locally for the next layer of repository features. It is intentionally simple, desktop-friendly, and quick to set up.
GitHub account verified
Preview only: connect your own account in Preferences → GitHub.
Workflow
Open. Search. Edit. Ship.
PPText Editor keeps the surface area calm: a file tree, a fast editor, workspace search, and a command palette. The result feels light, direct, and ready for everyday local coding.
