Announcing EBL_Code_Editor for Textpattern

I’ve disliked working with generic textareas in lieu of a proper IDE, so I decided to integrate Ace, an embeddable code-editor to improve Textpattern’s default editing experience. It all happened because I couldn’t indent code with my tab key. Tonight that annoyed me, so this spiralled out of control and now I have this plugin.

Without further ado, I give you ebl_code_editor:
Download it here

Once installed, you can “set it and forget it.” It works on yourStyles, Pages, or Forms pages and creates a proper coding interface with tabs, syntax highlighting, etc. It is CDN based, but you can change that if you want to download and change the link in the plugin code.

Thank you for the plugin! Now we can tell you that indent works with Shift+Space :-)

Oh I know. The muscle memory to do that just isn’t there so it didn’t work well for me, so I went for the overkill approach :)
