NAME
App::Codit - IDE for and in Perl
DESCRIPTION
Codit is a versatile text editor / integrated development environment aimed at the Perl programming language.
It is written in Perl/Tk and based on the Tk::AppWindow application framework.
It uses the Tk::CodeText text widget for editing.
Codit has been under development for about one year now. And even though it is considered alpha software, it already has gone quite some miles on our systems.
It features a multi document interface that can hold an unlimited number of documents, navigable through the tab bar at the top and a document list in the left side panel.
It has a plugin system designed to invite users to write their own plugins.
It is fully configurable through a configuration window, allowing you to set defaults for editing, the graphical user interface, syntax highlighting and (un)loading plugins.
Tk::CodeText offers syntax highlighting and code folding in plenty formats and languages. It has and advanced word based undo/redo stack that keeps track of selections and save points. It does auto indent, comment, uncomment, indent and unindent. Tab size and indent style are fully user configurable.
RUNNING CODIT

- -s or -session
-
Loads a session at launch. The plugin Sessions must be loaded for this to work.
