What is PCEF?¶

PCEF is code editing framework for PySide applications. It provides a flexible code editor ready to use in any PySide applications. Flexibility is achieved through a system of editor extensions (custom panels and modes).

At the moment, the framework only provides a generic code editor (language independent) but plans are to at least provides full support for python and maybe c++.

Here are the core features:

• syntax highlighting mode (using pygments)
• code completion (static word list, from document words)
• line number Panel
• code folding Panel
• markers Panel (to add breakpoints, bookmarks, errors,...)
• right margin indicator mode
• active line highlighting mode
• editor zoom mode
• find and replace Panel
• text decorations (squiggle, box)
• unicode support (specify encoding when you load your file)
• easy styling (built-in white and dark styles + possibility to customize using JSON style schemes)
• flexible framework to add custom panels/modes
• auto indent mode(indentation level is based on the previous line indent)

And here are some screenshots (taken from the generic_example v.0.1):
