If you are a developer, then of course you’d have thought how awesome it would be if you could edit your code in your all-time favorite iPhone or iPad! That feature a lot handy, as it is lengthy to open our MacBook each time we need to edit our code or text. You could always modify, or create what comes in your mind in the subway station, or in the restaurant. Ever thought how much that would increase your creativity, productivity and innovation for the programming section?
Keeping this in mind, Jesse Kuronen has developed a new code editor app for your iOS device- Buffer Editor. The Buffer
Using this new powerful text or code editor for iPad and iPhones, you can edit your code on the go, anywhere and anyhow you like. Editing texts and codes in the iOS devices is possible for a while now, but this new Buffer Editor takes this facility to a whole new level.
Features of Buffer Editor:
- Universal app for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
- Connect to Dropbox, SFTP, SSH and FTP servers
- Automatically sync files to server.
- Syntax highlighting & Code Autocomplete ( ASP, AWK, ActionScript, Ada, Arduino, Bash (Unix shell), C, C++, C#, Cobol, CSS, D, F#, Go, Haskell, HTML(4&5), INI, Java, Javascript, LaTeX, (Common) Lisp, Lua, MATLAB, NSIS, Objective-C, Pascal, Perl, PHP, Progress, Python, R, Ruby, SQL, Visual Basic, x86 ASM, XML)
- Extended Keyboard
- Vim coding support
- Search/replace
- Undo/redo
- Unicode support
- Bluetooth keyboard support (Supports all iOS short-cut keys)
- Preview any files supported by iOS including images, PDFs, movies and documents
- iOS “Open In” support, from Buffer Editor to other app – vice versa
- Customizable font and font sizes
- Multiple themes (themes include Solarized and many more)
- Send files by email
- File search
Some other major benefits of having this app are if you encounter any problem, the support section answers quick and smooth, and moreover, the size is not that high. It is just 7.6 MB, and hence, you would not have to be afraid to install it in your 16 GB iPhones.
For a small amount of money that you pay (yes, good things are never for free, but still, the price is neglibigle compared to the facilities that it has), you can get all these in your device. The Buffer Editor app is supported in all the devices running on iOS 7.1+, and the supported devices are iPod 4+iPhone 4+iPad 3+.
