# FeatherPad
## Overview
FeatherPad (by Pedram Pourang, a.k.a. Tsu Jan <tsujan2000@gmail.com>) is a lightweight Qt plain-text editor for Linux. It is independent of any desktop environment and has:
* Drag-and-drop support, including tab detachment and attachment;
* X11 virtual desktop awareness (using tabs on current desktop but opening a new window on another);
* An optionally permanent search-bar with a different search entry for each tab;
* Instant highlighting of found matches when searching;
* A docked window for text replacement;
* Support for showing line numbers and jumping to a specific line;
* Optional selection highlighting;
* Column selection;
* Syntax highlighting for common programming languages;
* Ability to open URLs with appropriate applications;
* Session management;
* Side-pane mode;
* Auto-saving;
* Spell checking with Hunspell;
* Printing;
* Text zooming;
* Appropriate but non-interrupting prompts; and
* Other features that can be found in its settings, on its menus or when it is actually used.
Please see [INSTALL](INSTALL) for instructions on compilation, installation and translation!
FeatherPad was written in GTK+ at first, then ported to Qt with more features. Its homepage is <https://github.com/tsujan/FeatherPad>.
