CodeEdit

Inherits: TextEdit < Control < CanvasItem < Node < Object

A multiline text editor designed for editing code.

Description

CodeEdit is a specialized TextEdit designed for editing plain text code files. It has many features commonly found in code editors such as line numbers, line folding, code completion, indent management, and string/comment management.

Note: Regardless of locale, CodeEdit will by default always use left-to-right text direction to correctly display source code.
