Introduction

Editora is a fast, keyboard-driven, cross-platform programmer’s text editor. Every action is a registered command, reachable through your choice of keymap (Emacs, CUA, Sublime Text, VS Code, or IntelliJ IDEA) or a fuzzy command palette. It’s free and open source under the MIT License.

It runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux, ships its own Java runtime in the native installers, and keeps everything local: no accounts, no telemetry, no analytics calls.

Editora is built with the help of AI coding tools.
