Description

Caret introduces top-tier text editing capabilities to Chrome OS, leveraging the remarkable Ace editing component. This means you can skip the hassle of installing an alternative operating system just to access a robust editor designed for local file management, specifically tailored for developers. With Caret, you'll benefit from syntax highlighting across numerous programming languages and a range of standard themes derived from Ace, including visual styles reminiscent of popular editors like Eclipse, XCode, and Chrome Dev Tools. Once you experience the efficiency of making various changes with just a couple of keystrokes, returning to a single cursor setup feels nearly impossible. The application supports multiple cursors and selections, along with familiar Sublime keybindings such as Ctrl-D for selecting the next match. Why invest time in memorizing keyboard shortcuts? The command palette (Ctrl-Shift-P) allows you to simply start typing your desired command, enabling Caret to perform a fuzzy search through the menu options, locate the command, and execute it seamlessly for you. This means you can fully immerse yourself in your coding without ever needing to reach for the mouse, enhancing your overall productivity.

Description

The source code for Microsoft's Visual Studio Code (VSCode) is available as open source under the MIT license, yet the downloadable version of the product is subject to a different license that is not considered free and open-source software (FLOSS) and includes telemetry features. To provide an alternative, the VSCodium project was created, allowing users to avoid the hassle of downloading and building from the source code by offering pre-built binaries. This project utilizes specialized build scripts that fetch Microsoft's VSCode repository, execute the necessary build commands, and subsequently upload the finished binaries to GitHub releases, all of which are licensed under the MIT license and have telemetry features disabled. For users on Mac OS X Mojave, if you encounter the message “App can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software” when you first try to open VSCodium, you can simply right-click the application and select Open, which should only be necessary the first time you launch it on that operating system. Additionally, comprehensive documentation is available for anyone looking to transition from Visual Studio Code, as well as for addressing various issues that may arise during use of VSCodium. This ensures users have access to all the guidance they need for a smooth experience.
