Essentially, it allows you to place multiple cursors in your document and make multiple changes simultaneously. If you've never used multiple cursors before in a text editor, it's one thing you will always miss in other environments. The multiple cursors feature of Sublime Text 2 is one of the two reasons I use that editor (the other is how light weight it is, which is one reason I'll never use Eclipse or a Java based IDE).
Missing Features & Down SidesĮven though there are several cool features of Brackets, it's missing a couple of features I'd like to see. However, the feature is currently limited to Chrome and CSS, so if you update the HTML of a web page, you'll still need to refresh. Using the sideways lightning bolt icon, you can see live changes to your CSS. Simply right click a hex color code and a color picker will pop up, which allows you to select a new color in RGB(a), Hex, or HSL(a). You can edit colors in your CSS stylesheet with a color picker using the Quick Edit feature. Unique Featuresīrackets has a few great features that I haven't seen in another text editor. It has all of the basic features like syntax highlighting and all of the shortcuts (Control/Cmd + S to save) that you are used to, and pseudo-tabbed interface so you can have more than one document open at once. You can use Brackets like a regular text editor. For instance, trying to open the screenshot in the sample project resulted in an error. Now, being an editor in development, there are a few issues. Using BracketsĪfter you download Adobe Brackets and drop it into your /Applications on Mac OS X, it'll open a new window with a sample project. The source code for Adobe Brackets is available on GitHub. Unlike C++ or other native languages that have a higher barrier of entry, Javascript will allow for more developers to extend and improve the editor. What is unique about Brackets is the way it's built- it is all built in HTML, CSS, and Javascript. It is still in active development and is open source. It certainly has some stiff competition from long time favorites like TextMate and Sublime Text 2 (my personal favorite and daily driver), but I personally have my doubts as to its future success.Įssentially, Adobe Brackets is a new text editor for developers.
