Godot Engine Text Editor

A little plugin to easy-way manage your text files inside your project folder. 

Author: *"Nicolo (fenix) Santilio"*  
Version: *1.8.4*  
Godot Version: *3.2alpha2*  

This repository was pushed directly from Godot Engine Editor thanks to Godot Engine - Github Integration!

What is this?

This is a little plugin I've made to easily edit text files in your project folder.  


How does it work?

You open an existing file, create a new file and delete a file. 
When opening / creating a file, the editor will open and you will be able to edit it and save it. 
You can just *Save* the file, or *Save file As* a new file (if it is a new file but also to make some copies).  
You will also be able to see some informations about the file you are editing (time and date of last edit) and you can set your editor to *Read Only* if you don't want to make changes but still read the content of the file.  
Multiple files can be opened in different tabs.  


How do I install it?

  • **Manual**  
    Just download this zip repository and put it in your `res://addons` folder inside the project you want to work on.  
    Then, go to `Project > Plugins > "File Editor" > Status > Activate`.  
  • **Automatic**  
    You can find this plugin in the AssetLib of Godot Engine Editor. Just download it from there and everything should be fine!  
    (Remember to activate this plugin)

I wish this plugin was included in Godot itself and I wish it supported Godot 4.2.2 and above. :(

Sorry, what do you mean by that?
It's an integreted text editor for Godot Engine, I don't know what you are talking about.

sorry, i used it and realized its a plugin :3

This should be included in official release.

Thank you :)
Godot actually has a plain text editor, even though is not that accessible or useful, since it is just the Script editor but without the GDScript highliting.
A dedicated editor like mine (or even better than mine) could be very useful for multiple purposes files.

Great. Can you make excel variables and then automate them into words?

Hi,

Sorry to answer you after all these months, but itch.io is not my main platform and in terms of notifications is pretty bad.
I'm interested in you proposal, if you want we can talk about it in Discord, you canf find the link on Github :)

I'm impressed, this is something I've yearned for for quite a while.
