Code Browser Reviews
Code Browser
(1 Rating)
Code Browser is a Linux and Windows folding text editor. It can hierarchically organize any type of text file, and especially source code. It makes it easier to navigate through source code. Code Browser is a tool that allows you to quickly navigate through the source code of large projects. It can also be used to view a simple CSS file. It is ideal if you don't want to scroll through thousands upon thousands of lines of code. It supports syntax highlighting in all major languages. Custom syntax highlighting is also possible. Code Browser was originally designed to be used to edit programs. However, it can also serve other purposes such as plain text outlining and helping to understand the source code. I have added a page that offers suggestions on how to fold.
