Welcome to the Textadept wiki.
Textadept is a fast, minimalist, and remarkably extensible cross-platform text editor for programmers. Written in a combination of C and Lua and relentlessly optimized for speed and minimalism over years, Textadept is an ideal editor for programmers who want endless extensibility without sacrificing speed and disk space, and without succumbing to code bloat and a superabundance of features.
Note: Textadept 11 has recently been released, which has many API and configuration changes compared to 10.8. See the migration guide for more information on those changes. Wiki content should be up to date, but content in external links may not be.
