What is FTLEdit?

FTLEdit is a simple source code editor for HTML/CSS/Javascript and Java files. One special feature is the integrated browser preview, wwhich displays the currently edited file with the default browser of the system, even if it contains unsaved changes.

Functions

• Editor area with line numbers and syntax coloring for HTML/CSS/Javascript and Java code.
• Current selected directory is shown in a tree view next to the source code editor.
• Integrated browser preview with the respective standard browser of the system - the preview can be updated at any time, even if the source code has not yet been saved.
• Last working directory is reopened at next program start.
• Switch between display and edit mode to prevent accidental changes.
• Integrated context menu with important functions like Find/Replace, Undo/Redo and so on.
• Encoding for saving files can be defined in user settings.
• Code structure view (Outline) for Javascript and Java code.
• Bookmark view for quick navigation between code places. The set bookmarks are saved per file and are also available again after a program restart.
• Existing shortcuts: CTRL + S = Save, CTRL + H = Find/Replace dialog, CTRL + F2 = Set/delete bookmarks, F2 = Jump to next bookmark.
