In other words, SciTECO + can be used for scripting. + By default, a profile is munged. +* Cross platform: Builds on a wide variety of platforms. While being focused on UNIX + and drawing some inspiration from it, other platforms (esp. Windows) are fully + supported. It is made sure that SciTECO integrates well into all supported + platforms even without an UNIX-like environment. +* SciTECO is console and command-line friendly. + Besides running under Curses and being a scripting language, it is written + to be used interactively on system terminals, can be integrated into + UNIX pipelines and can be extended with external command-line tools + (see `EC` command). +* Themeability and consistency: Color settings (or schemes) are applied consistenly + across all supported platforms. Gtk+ builds allow further customization using CSS. + The user interface is kept minimalistic and is consistent in spirit across the + different platforms. * Syntax highlighting, styles, line numbers, etc. thanks to Scintilla. Low-level Scintilla commands can also be accessed to extend SciTECO. * A growing standard library of macros with frameworks for color schemes, syntax highlighting -- cgit v1.2.3
