Lightweight Qt5 Plain-Text Editor for Linux
FeatherPad (by Pedram Pourang, a.k.a. Tsu Jan tsujan2000@gmail.com) is a lightweight Qt5 plain-text editor for Linux. It is independent of any desktop environment and has:

- An optionally permanent search-bar with a different search entry for each tab;
- Instant highlighting of found matches when searching;
- A docked window for text replacement;
- Support for showing line numbers and jumping to a specific line;
- Automatic detection of text encoding as far as possible and optional saving with encoding;
- Syntax highlighting for common programming languages;
- Ability to open URLs with appropriate applications;
- Session management;
- Side-pane mode;
- Auto-saving;
- Spell checking with Hunspell;
- Printing;
- Text zooming;
- Appropriate but non-interrupting prompts;
- Haiku OS support (by [khallebal at GitHub](https://github.com/khallebal));
- macOS support (by [Pavel Shlyak](https://github.com/shlyakpavel)); and
- Other features that can be found in its settings, on its menus or when it is actually used.
