Expanded Features in Tincta Pro

In Tinca Pro the split view feature allows you to display two documents side by side. So you can easily compare and edit both files and even drag text from one to the other.

Advanced Search & Replace
Use the full power of Regular Expressions to search your files in Tincta Pro. With this professional but intuitive search and replace tool you will find any pattern in no time. And to speed up repetitive tasks you can just search and replace across all open files with one click.
Execute Scripts
Tincta Pro fully supports any Unix compatible scripts like Python, Shell, Perl and what else there is. Being a script programmer that means you can just click “Run” to test your code. You will immediately see the output in a log file within Tincta Pro. But even if you’re not a coder, scripts can do all the boring stuff for you like sorting lines or finding duplicates in your text. No matter what you do and what your needs are, with Tincta Pro’s flexible script capabilities you can extend it with custom functionality anytime using your own scripts.

Snippet Management
When working with a text editor is your daily business you sure need a snippet manager that does repetitive typing for you. Tincta Pro’s built-in snippet manager lets you organize your snippets in groups and makes them easily accessible from the distinct snippets menu. By assigning each snippet a shortcut you don’t even need to take your hands off the keyboard. Just type the shortcut and on pressing blank Tincta Pro automatically replaces the shortcut with the appropriate snippet while your cursor is set to the predefined position within.

File Browser
With Tincta Pro you no longer need to interrupt your workflow by switching to the Finder. The integrated file browser lets you conveniently browse your project. For each file you instantly get a quicklook preview along with all important file info like size and modification date. Naturally you can open files directly from the file browser even multiple files at once.

Streamlined Interface
Tincta Pro features some subtile interface tweaks to adjust it to the needs of professional users. For instance the sidebar items representing your open files are significantly smaller allowing at least 20 open files to be visible without scrolling (on a 13″ MacBook).

Note: If you’ve been a fan of the Smultron and Fraise text editors, you’ll find yourself right at home in Tincta’s user interface. Ed.
