Code Browser

A Folding Text Editor

Features

Folding Specific Features

Folders
In Code Browser, folded sections in a text file are called 'folders' because of similiarities with filesystem folders. See the Introduction for more information.
Links
Links help navigation between files, they are a natural extension to folders: a link is an headline that references another folder in the same or another text file.
Special comment lines
These comment lines are displayed with a different font and color in the text but without the comment makers. It gives the source code a literate programming look.
Multiple files, windows and panes
Several files can be loaded simultaneously, but in addition, several windows can be opened on the same file. This feature is very important with the folding system: It allows viewing or editing another part of your current working file; you just have to reopen a new window on it.
Smalltalk style browser
The hierarchy of folded sections is displayed in lists above the text.
Tree browser
The hierarchy of folded sections is displayed in a tree view.
