Brackets 1.5 Text Editor. Install latest release of Brackets Text Editor on Ubuntu 15.04, Ubuntu 14.04 and Linux Mint. Brackets is an open source code editor for the web, written in JavaScript, HTML and CSS
What makes Brackets different from other web code editors?
- Tools shouldn’t get in your way. Instead of cluttering up your coding environment with lots of panels and icons, the Quick Edit UI in Brackets puts context-specific code and tools inline.
- Brackets is in sync with your browser. With Live Preview, Brackets works directly with your browser to push code edits instantly and jump back and forth between your real source code and the browser view.
What’s New in Release 1.5
Brackets 1.5 version adds the ability to fold selected text via code folding and includes some major performance enhancements to searching. Brackets now also gives you CSS code hints inside of style tags in PHP documents and they’ve improved the code hinting performance in minified files. Not only this, Brackets 1.5 also fixes a couple of issues with El Capitan and a freezing/crashing bug.
Other notable changes are:
- Fold Selected Text: Select any text block in the editor and fold markers will appear to collapse the selected text.
- Instant Search (Improved Stability and Performance): Major stability and performance improvements. Find in Files can now index and search robustly in thousands of files instantly.
- CSS Code Hints in PHP: CSS code hints are now available for style elements inside PHP files.
- Remember Collapsed Linters: Remember collapsed state of linters on switching files.
- Improve JS Code Hints performance in minified files: JS Code Hints now perform more efficiently with minified files
- Resolve Brackets freezing/crashing on windows on reload: Fixed the crash when reloading Brackets through “Debug > Reload With Extensions” menu
- El Capitan Fixes: Fixed full-screen bugs with Brackets on El Capitan.
Known Issues
- Debug > Run Tests is disabled in the installer/DMG distributions of Brackets, because the unit test code is not included. To run unit tests, pull Brackets from GitHub instead.
