Plain Text Editor 4+

Do you want a plain text app with no features? I do

I very much like the ability to compose a quick note that I can edit before I paste into a chat application. So I want a plain text app that is just about as featureless as you can imagine. The default textEdit in Mac has a bunch of features and it is difficult to get the text to wrap to the window size. This does exactly what I need and offers very little features, which is what I want for a quick way to edit things and then toss them after I paste them. Sometimes less is more.

Note to the developers: Don't touch it; don't work on the app; don't improve it. Many people need an app like this.

Very much appreciated.

Close to my ideal lightweight combination of "essential" features for plain text: a comfortably wide window padding, a comfortably relaxed line height, a comfortably narrow column, the ability to hide all chrome, and use of the system's monospace font – and lacking common features that can feel arbitrary or cluttering (typewriter mode, sidebars, Markdown support).

The beauty of simplicity

Reminds me of my old Olympia typewriter when I use a monospaced font. It is beautifully simple just like a piece of white paper and the only thing that I would like is to be able to change text width instead of using Optimal line length which is a bit narrow.

Developer Response ,

A line length setting is coming after the summer.
