SaaS Metrics
Kodex is an advanced code editor which brings powerful and desktop-class editor features to your iPad or iPhone:
* Multi-caret editing, to quickly transform code selections.
* Regex search and replace, with template matching and replace-all-matches.
* Minimap which allows quick scroll navigation though the document.
* Multiple window support
* Syntax highlighting for over 150 languages.
* Trackpad support with custom gestures to add cursors (ctrl+shift+click).
* Auto complete feature (currently only for HTML).
* Add as many guide columns as you wish (default 80 and 120 characters).
* Configurable tab size (default 4 spaces), or insert spaces when pressing tab.
* Draw hints for invisible characters such as new lines, tabs, and spaces.
* Customizable key bindings, so you can configure Kodex to use the same key combos you are already used to.
* Kodex smartly preserves your open documents so that your work stays as you left it between launches.
* Light and Dark modes.
Kodex is integrated with the Files app, so you can easily open files from any other app, and from your iCloud documents folder.
You can launch Kodex QuickEdit from any file sharing view in any app to edit its contents without launching the main Kodex App (be aware this functionality depends on the host app implementing the sharing activity properly).
Included are 10 editor themes, and several monospaced fonts for code editing (you can install your own preferred fonts using system profiles). Font size and line spacing are adjustable, so you can configure Kodex to best fit your preferred screen size, arrangement, and orientation.
Kodex is not a compiler, and you can not build or run the code you edit from it. Think of Kodex as a NotePad++ or Sublime Text substitute for iPhone and iPad.
Kodex is currently optimized for external keyboards, such as Apple's Smart Keyboard for the iPad Pro, or any bluetooth/USB keyboard. More virtual keyboard features will be added in a future version.

Community Voice & Feedback
This is the ONLY app out of three dozen I have tested for various types of code editing or note taking that hasn’t shoved a billion ads in my face. And it has the features I want and is a great, simple, minimalist code editor. I love it guys and please keep up the great work!
Puedo cambiar la versiónes de los mods de fnf
This would be my favorite code editor, but the lack of a word wrap toggle makes it nearly useless to me.
As said:”A powerful code editor..” Just start using it!
Using it with keyboard accessory makes total line number counter thingy to float over editor page to become hinderance, need option to remove it or make it go bottom of the screen like when using it without accessory, obvious UI mistake for text editor app
Closing the app without saving removes all progress and recently saving files crashes the app and loses all progress. I spent at least 4 and a half hours working on a project and when I tried saving it. It crashed and I lost everything
I've been using Kodex for maybe a decade now and find it to be an excellent text editor — when it works. Unfortunately, it crashes *a lot*, even crashing repeatedly when e.g. working on a 4-line bash script with only one tab open. I like Kodex enough to keep using it despite the constant crashes, but sometimes they are frustrating enough for me to just use something inferior for a few months.
It would be nice if users were able to either import a font or select one installed on the system. The built-in options are broadly not wonderful, I'd like to be able to use my preferred IDE font (which happens to be 'Courier Prime Code', it's open source and could definitely be included in Kodex).

There are so many missing features of this code editor and it’s painful. First of all, WHERE’S THE REDO BUTTON?
Being able to accidentally press the undo button with no way of knowing what you did is so frustrating.
And another thing: PLEASE ADD A WORD WRAP TOGGLE!
Word wrapping warps the text and makes it hard to distinguish between statements so please add a toggle!

I love this app! I wish i knew about it sooner! But something that is a bit annoying is how you cant see a screen where your code can turn into what it should be.
Crashes when opening files on iOS 17.
I love this app. It’s the best text editor I’ve found or iOS / iPadOS. Unfortunately, it seems broken on the latest iPadOS 17.x. I went ahead and tipped and I hope the dev will be able to fix it.
So I love this bc I was playing Roblox and this guy was hacker and he told me and I love it how u do it so u have to have google and kodex and u copy and paste it on to google and then u are a hacker
Im still a little bit confused but I love it TYSM for the app it really helps!❤️

No longer opens files on ios 17
this app won’t open a mcmeta file, which is a text file by the way.
I don’t know how to code the pro way. I’m 8 and use Tynker. I didn’t expect it to be like this. But pls make it easier.
