Kodex is an advanced code editor which brings powerful and desktop-class editor features to your iPad or iPhone:
* Multi-caret editing, to quickly transform code selections.
* Regex search and replace, with template matching and replace-all-matches.
* Minimap which allows quick scroll navigation though the document.
* Multiple window support
* Syntax highlighting for over 150 languages.
* Trackpad support with custom gestures to add cursors (ctrl+shift+click).
* Auto complete feature (currently only for HTML).
* Add as many guide columns as you wish (default 80 and 120 characters).
* Configurable tab size (default 4 spaces), or insert spaces when pressing tab.
* Draw hints for invisible characters such as new lines, tabs, and spaces.
* Customizable key bindings, so you can configure Kodex to use the same key combos you are already used to.
* Kodex smartly preserves your open documents so that your work stays as you left it between launches.
* Light and Dark modes.
Kodex is integrated with the Files app, so you can easily open files from any other app, and from your iCloud documents folder.
You can launch Kodex QuickEdit from any file sharing view in any app to edit its contents without launching the main Kodex App (be aware this functionality depends on the host app implementing the sharing activity properly).
Included are 10 editor themes, and several monospaced fonts for code editing (you can install your own preferred fonts using system profiles). Font size and line spacing are adjustable, so you can configure Kodex to best fit your preferred screen size, arrangement, and orientation.
Kodex is not a compiler, and you can not build or run the code you edit from it. Think of Kodex as a NotePad++ or Sublime Text substitute for iPhone and iPad.
Kodex is currently optimized for external keyboards, such as Apple's Smart Keyboard for the iPad Pro, or any bluetooth/USB keyboard. More virtual keyboard features will be added in a future version.
App Crashes Alot - I can only open a file, not an entire folder?
Seems very underpowered in user interface. Limited because does not allow you to open a folder and navigate it, instead only open 1 file at a time.
App crashes constantly.
Closing the file sometimes pressing the X button doesn’t work. Especially when only 1 file is open.
Unusable
Abandoned by developer
Crashes when opening file
Unusable
Crashes when opening, iPad Pro.
Keeps crashing
The app crashes whenever a file is created or opened
Can’t do anything
Keeps crashing
Can’t even open after first download
For an “advanced code editor” it seemed to seriously struggle with actually doing anything. Not intuitive, figured out how to try and open a file (no idea how to get to actual locations of the files I want to open) … but there seems to be a default file that comes with it, assuming so you can open something while you’re trying to figure out how to get to the actual code you want to edit … and it just crashes. Re-launch … try to open file, crash. After the third time it got deleted and moving on. Shame as it seems to have pretty decent reviews … but if it doesn’t actually open the first file, that’s pretty much a hard fail.
Wow!!
I’m actually really surprised and impress at the quality of this editor, especially compared to other iOS editors.
Good for me
Idk how to code but seems really good to me 👍
The best (free) code-editor on the Apple App Store.
Kodex has helped me a LOT with learning Python. It has an eye-pleasing UI (especially with Anko & Sunburst as the font & theme) which makes it great for getting stuck on something for 2 hours straight (has totally never happened to me before). I would definitely use Kodex for learning JavaScript (not in a sarcastic way)!
Wow😶
RIGHT as I saw that righting I was like WHAAAAAAAAAT!?!
