Editing text and code files
Android · iPhone · quillo.trUpdated:
Where: With a text, Markdown, data or code file open: reader › dock › Edit.
Plain text, Markdown, CSV/JSON/XML/YAML and code files (Python, Java, Kotlin, Swift, JavaScript, SQL, shell…) open in a light editor: fix code on the spot and save it, share it or bring it into . There is no compiling, running or autocomplete.
- 1Tap "Edit" on the dock. Code and data files get a monospaced font, line numbers and horizontal scrolling; autocorrect and auto-capitalisation are off. Text and Markdown are edited with line wrapping.
- 2"Find and replace" (the magnifier-arrow icon) offers a find field, the match count, next match, replace and "Replace all".
- 3"Save" writes the text back; the reading pages are regenerated (code files line by line, monospaced). It is dimmed when there are no changes. You are asked before leaving without saving.
- 4⋮ › "Save as…" opens Android's file saver (Downloads, Drive, SD card); the file is saved with its original extension (.py, .md, .json…). ⋮ › "Share file" sends the same file to the share menu.
- 5In a guest document there is ⋮ › "Add to Library".
Files larger than 2 MB open read-only. Markup and notes aren't made in the editor but in the reading view, by selecting with a long press; when the text changes, old markup may shift.
Web (quillo.tr): On quillo.tr the editor opens from the "Edit text" icon on the Markup toolbar (Markup brings up the markup tools first): line numbers in code and data files, Find and replace (Ctrl+F), Save (Ctrl+S), Save as (downloads with the original extension) and Share file. The reader doesn't yet show code files line by line; indentation is kept in the editor.
iPhone: The same editor opens from the reader: line numbers, Find and replace, Save, Save as and Share.
