EasyEdit – Mobile text editor
that is designed to be intuitive and flexible

EasyEditEasyEdit is an intuitive, friendly and very simple text editor for S60 phones developed in Python with a lot of useful features.

Sure every S60 phone is equipped with text editor but EasyEdit is quite better solution than the build in Notes application because it allows you to edit most of the existing text based files directly on your mobile phone.

Also it has the build in file browser, full search support with find/replace (case sensitive) functionality, possibility to change screen and font size, supports multiple encodings including ASCII & UTF-8 and much, much more.

You can create and edit INI-files, any kind of configuration files actually; you can even tweak Python scripts and many more non formatted files wherever you are.

Although it is very simple and has the very limited functionality it is still great and essential tool for the freaks on the go and after all it will cost you nothing so you should give it a try

EasyEdit current features:

* File browser for opening/saving and more.
* Maintains a list of recently opened/saved files.
* Cut/Copy/Paste.
* Change screen size and font.
* Settings are restored when the program is reopened.
* Set encoding of files read from/written to disk.
* Search within a file.
* Including search for a string forwards/backwards and finding a given line in a file.

Features to come:

* Find and replace.
* Cut/Copy using „ABC“ button text selection. This is already implemented by the operating system as well as the clipboard functionality included in the „Edit“ menu.
* (?) Line-numbers displayed in status bar
* Since it’s quite difficult to obtain keypresses from a text() object, I think this will have to be implemented in a separate thread that updates the staus/title bar… appuifw cannot be accessed from a separate thread!
* A proper „help“.
