node-mirror

Description

A IDE build around CodeMirror.net.
If you dont know CodeMirror.net, please check it out. Its a great Project.
This projects aim is to follow the CodeMirror philosophy of pluginability and simplistic approach to give you a full (Web)Developer IDE.
So all you need is:

• a Computer (unix recommended but windows is supported as well)
• node.js
• this Project

and you have answered the Question about which Editor to choose.
You will be able to edit your code from anywhere you want. if you dont like the colors you just change em. if support for a mimetype is missing you can just add it.
You will never again have to be frustrated about a missing feature within your IDE because you can just add it. At least if you know JavaScript.

features:

• view / edit all content/types supported by CodeMirror.net
• view / edit all files in text mode or download them
• html tester / analyzer
• .less tester / .less online help / save your .less file immediately as .css file
• awesome hexeditor
• integrated pegjs parser debugger
• download directories as zip files (alpha)
• Terminals (!)

Files Module

For every Content Type where a CodeMirror Mode exists, a CodeMirror instance will be opened. Also every content Type starting with text/* will be opened using CodeMirror.
For all other files there is a download button.
If a file is opened for which no native Text Mode exists it will be opened in a Hex Editor. You can switch between hex view and text view.

Terminal Module

utilizing pty.js nodeMirror allows you to have several terminals within your browser. the Terminals will stay open when you close your browser window. You can even have the same terminal open on different browsers / machines opening new possibilities for collaboration.

Security

pass username and password to secure your local files from being hacked
