Bluefish overview

What is Bluefish?

Bluefish is a text editing tool that helps programmers and developers write codes for websites, scripting, and programming purposes. It allows users to load multiple documents simultaneously, start threads related to remote files, and search and replace text across files in disks.

It offers a snippet sidebar, which allows programmers to configure custom dialogs, insert patterns, set up shortcut keys to facilitate development processes, and more. It includes a spell checker, which detects errors in programming language across documents. It also enables users to automatically recover edits or changes in documents in case of a sudden crash.
