Snaked user manual

Snaked (snake editor) is light and minimalist editor inspired by Scribes, indented mostly for python developers, but other users may find it useful too.

Features:

• Light UI. There are no menu, tool bar, status bar or project browser at all. Only editor view itself.
• gtksourceview2 based.
• Keyboard oriented control.
• Auto projects. In most cases you do not need such boring operation like File ‣ New project. Just start edit your file.
• Project navigation via Quick Open dialog.
• Sessions to store last opened editors.
• Restoring last edit position.
• Python auto complete and navigation via rope with very flexible type hinting framework. PyGtk, Django support.
• Basic python code lint via pyflakes.
• Snippets.
• Unittests (with py.test as backend, so there is support for usual UnitTest cases, nose cases and py.test itself).
• Spell check.

Note

Just a brief remark: I’m not a native English speaker so you may feel some confusion reading this manual. Please, share your discomfiture with me. I’ll be very grateful for that.
