RotiDeCode (http://rotideco.de) is a trimmed-down text editor. It started out as a weekend project to force myself to improve the packaging of QCodeEdit 3 (http://qcodeedit.org) and took a life of its own.

It's still a work in progress but already pretty neat:

Arbitrary split views
Uncluttered interface
Automatic session saving (restore open files, split views, cursor position, scrollbar position, ...)
Quick navigation bar
All the benefits of QCodeEdit (syntax highlighting, line numbers, code folding, parenthesis matching...)


The source is BSD-licensed but the dependencies are a mix of GPL/LGPL so the combined work technically falls under the terms of the GPL.

I intend RotiDeCode to be usable and reliable but to some extent it's also a playground to explore the broader text editing landscape. If you have crazy ideas that you think would make for an awesome text editing experience please feel free to reach out to me (hugues@qcodeedit.org) or fork the code on gitorious (https://gitorious.org/rotidecode/rotidecode) and see where it leads you.
