Editor Essentials Tincta

Independent and state of the art
Tincta was written and designed from ground up. We don't use any third party code or technologies (besides Mac OS X) and we keep our codebase small and clean. So we can achieve maximum speed, avoid bugs and add improvements very quickly.

Exclusive features in Tincta Pro

Tincta Pro Split Views
Split Views
Often you need to edit two files simultaneously and we all know that switching windows is rather cumbersome.
In Tinca Pro the split view feature allows you to display two documents side by side. So you can easily compare and edit both files and even drag text from one to the other.

Advanced Search & Replace
Use the full power of Regular Expressions to search your files in Tincta Pro. With this professional but intuitive search and replace tool you will find any pattern in no time.
And to speed up repetitive tasks you can just search and replace across all open files with one click.

Execute Scripts
Tincta Pro fully supports any Unix compatible scripts like Python, Shell, Perl and what else there is.
Being a script programmer that means you can just click "Run" to test your code. You will immediately see the output in a log file within Tincta Pro.
But even if you're not a coder, scripts can do all the boring stuff for you like sorting lines or finding duplicates in your text.
No matter what you do and what your needs are, with Tincta Pro's flexible script capabilities you can extend it with custom functionality anytime using your own scripts.

Snippet Management
When working with a text editor is your daily business you sure need a snippet manager that does repetitive typing for you.
Tincta Pro's built-in snippet manager lets you organize your snippets in groups and makes them easily accessible from the distinct snippets menu. By assigning each snippet a shortcut you don't even need to take your hands off the keyboard. Just type the shortcut and on pressing blank Tincta Pro automatically replaces the shortcut with the appropriate snippet while your cursor is set to the predefined position within.

Tincta Pro File Browser
File Browser
With Tincta Pro you no longer need to interrupt your workflow by switching to the Finder.
The integrated file browser lets you conveniently browse your project. For each file you instantly get a quicklook preview along with all important file info like size and modification date.
Naturally you can open files directly from the file browser – even multiple files at once.

Streamlined Interface
Tinca Pro features some subtile interface tweaks to adjust it to the needs of professional users. For instance the side bar items representing your open files are significantly smaller allowing at least 20 open files to be visible without scrolling (on a 13" MacBook)
